Business & Financial Occupations
Employment grew steadily over the five-year period for business and financial occupations. Evidence from employers suggests technical skills, some of which are also in demand in ICT occupations, continue to be in high demand especially in the financial services sector. The shift towards digital banks, which are typically cloud based services, requires workers with increasingly sophisticated technical skills (AI, machine learning, blockchain) to improve customer experience, facilitate multiple cyber security measures, and better detect fraud.
Demand for international financial services skills is expected to persist across a number of areas, including sustainable finance and regulatory and compliance activities
