With regard to the importance of automation and
digital technologies, the forum said that the advantages were numerous, with
the most significant being the increased levels of productivity, and higher
quality of services.
The
World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Future Jobs Report
2020–2025 predicted that as a result of the technological evolution, 85 million
jobs will be eliminated by the middle of this decade, while 97 million new jobs
will be created to keep pace with the future technical demands.
The WEF said that Jordan’s skill level fell by about
eight places from 2021, with the Kingdom ranking 76 out of 102 at the global
level, and 6 out of 13 at the Arab level in 2022.
Learners in Jordan need to improve their competitive
skills in databases, operating systems, computer networks, network development,
computer programming, cloud computing and software engineering, the report
urged.
The forum also recommended that all stakeholders pay
due attention to the areas of technology, and data science to support Jordan’s
digital transformation goals.
The WEF also suggested that Jordanian learners
improve their data science skills by developing their math skills, automated
learning, statistical programming, presentation, management, and analysis of
data.
