According to the advice of Rolify’s partner, MojPosao.ba , I bring you an overview of the most important digital skills that employers especially value today and that are crucial for modern business. These skills are becoming an indispensable part of the competencies of any employee who wants to succeed in the digital age.
- Understanding of basic digital tools
The first step towards building digital skills is understanding basic tools such as Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides). These tools facilitate organization and communication in teams, and knowledge of them is often a minimum requirement for many jobs.
- Learning programming languages
Knowledge of programming languages such as Python , JavaScript , Java and C# has become essential for many professional roles. The advice of our partner MojPosao.ba is to focus on the languages that are most in demand in the industry in which you want to work. “Employers increasingly appreciate the analytical thinking that develops through learning to program, because it enables solving complex business problems,” said Damir Džeba from MojPosao.ba.
- Constant education and adaptability
Technology changes rapidly, so continuous education is important for every professional. Constant monitoring of new trends and technologies shows employers readiness for adaptation and development, which is a key feature in today’s business environment. Nermana Ajanović-Hajdarpašić , director of operations of the company Kolektiv doo/MojPosao.ba, recently emphasized the importance of these characteristics on the panel:
“In a world of constant and accelerating change, the only skill that matters is the ability and desire to learn and adapt. Combined with persistence and discipline, these are the skills that will successfully introduce young people to the jobs of the future.”
- Digital communication and collaboration
Effective digital communication and collaboration have become the basis of modern teams. Tools like Slack , Zoom, and Microsoft Teams make it easier to share information, which is key for remote work and hybrid teams.
- Cyber security
Understanding the basic principles of cyber security is becoming indispensable due to the increasing number of digital threats. Basic data protection, safe use of the Internet and prevention of cyber attacks provide an important advantage for employers.
