What skills will be in demand in 2025 according to LinkedIn

This list will be useful both to those actively looking for a job and to those who aim to make their careers more resilient to future changes. Artificial intelligence is having a significant impact on the labor market. According to LinkedIn, by 2030, 70% of the skills required for most professions will change.

For organizations, the ability to handle these transformations means the need to shift to hiring methods based on skills assessment, which can expand global talent pools by 6.1 times. For professionals, this means the importance of staying one step ahead of change—mastering new in-demand skills or deepening existing competencies. Many are already taking action in this direction: a quarter of professionals stated that they plan to focus on acquiring new skills this year.

This is exactly why the Skills on the Rise ranking was created—the first of its kind list of the fastest-growing skills that professionals should develop to remain competitive in the modern labor market.
