The sphere of business is in a state of quiver these days, which is inducing a feeling of uneasiness and nervousness among job seekers. This is caused due to the division of workers into two sharply contrasting sets having varying circumstances — tech-driven workers and non-tech driven workers. Unemployment and underemployment are the consequences of this problem especially among youth which are not only stagnating earnings of a large number of households but also leading to inequality among workers. The fear around automation and technology impacts job seekers as they have not updated themselves with trending skills and this will continue to grow as innovations have the power to modify the employment landscape. Although millions of people have lost their jobs as a result of new technologies and because of their behavior of resistance to change, millions of jobs are also created in which they can fit in if they focus on the up-gradation of skills.

According to experts from the IT and software services industry, companies are migrating from traditional methods to new-era technologies like Data analytics, Artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, Cloud computing, Cybersecurity and so on which has brought on the need for employees of all organizations to develop new skill-sets. Whether it is marketing, human resources, civil engineering, tourism, or healthcare, technology is everywhere so every person should instill an attitude in himself/herself to enquire and learn new skills. In addition to this, there must be an increased focus on leadership based training and learning systems like virtual team management to build an all-rounder potential team of employees who can work on shared goals and objectives.

Creative and new technologies are coming with a lot of potentials, acting as a booster to the Indian economy and promising a better future for industries, societies, and every citizen. They inculcate new capabilities and skills in people that help them to scale up in their career to meet the demands of the future. Everyone in the job market and employment sphere has to learn new technical skills to earn better and to avoid technological unemployment. These tasks can be made easy if proper training or mentorship is provided to the current employees in the organization and job seekers in the market.
