Technological Skills Uptake in the Aged and Residential Care Sectors
Technological skills are becoming increasingly important in
every sector and the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the uptake of technology
for both businesses and individuals due to the necessity for remote working
solution. The World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report details the increased
demand for technology skills across all sectors of industry.
The top skills across all sectors are:
• cloud computing
• bid data analysis
• internet of things
• cybersecurity
• artificial intelligence
• text image and voice processing
• e-commerce
• robots
• augmented reality and virtual reality
• blockchain,
• 3D and 4D printing
• power storage
• new materials
• biotechnology, and
• quantum computing.
The impact of technology on the workforce was discussed by
CSIRO Data 61, Dr Claire Mason in the Community Care Smart Assistive Technology
Collaborative (CCSATC) webinar ‘Technology and Digital Inclusion for All Ages’.
Further to
the technology skills across all sectors, Dr Mason presented on the in-demand
technology skills for the aged and residential care sector, highlighting that demand
for technological skills is overall not as high, with only cloud computing
being a heavily sought after technological skill. This slower uptake was
explained as being due to the established workforce in this industry having a
lack of digital skills due to training packages for the sector not including
many digital skills.
