Future students are frequently urged to analyse the present employment market and future projections before deciding on a career path and what they should study.
However, these projections can be difficult to make, which is why advice is essential, according to an education expert.
“There is a growing emphasis on skills and reskilling rather than traditional career paths and job titles, and the importance of developing a versatile skill set to thrive in the modern workforce,” said Peter Kriel, general manager at The Independent Institute of Education.
