Thinking of training in something after being a SAHP for many years.

Is there still a shortage in finance, HR and teaching?

What skills will employers look for in the next 5-10 years?

There's a huge shortage of HVAC engineers if you fancied going into that!

Does it pay well?

Data analysis is something that gets brought up a lot at the tech/digital forums I attend

I've seen a lot of data analysis/analytics courses being advertised. If lots of people are doing it's not going to be so lucrative is it?

The issue is at the moment that companies are generating huge amounts of data, but do. It currently have the skills and capacity to process and make sense of the data they generate. So that’s why there is a huge drive to upskill people in it. Essentially everyone will need to have s basic understanding of data analytics but skilled data analytics people will be in high demand

Anything related to the Green Energy sector. Civil, mechanical, electrical & chemical engineers will be in very high demand in this industry.

Anything that can't be done remotely. This leaves things like plumbing, electrical work, plastering, hairdressing and other hands-on trades. Data analytics can be done anywhere in the world.

Anything that requires good people skills - to manage other people and build relationships. Successful managers are often not the cleverest or the best at the technical aspects of their role or have the best specialist knowledge, but they can identify those experts and get people working together. this is why I'm not a successful manager
