With technology, automation, digitalisation, and new business models reshaping what workers do every day, it’s no wonder job roles don’t stay the same for long. Even familiar roles are evolving in ways that employers may not fully see — until skill gaps start affecting productivity, efficiency, or individual and organisational growth.But what if companies can identify the specific skills within each job that are shifting in importance? That’s exactly what SkillsFuture's Job Requirements Skills Index (JRI) provides.While the JRI is not meant to map every role in the economy, it’s been designed to serve as a practical reference point — helping employers better interpret shifts within their own workforce and industry.Used in this way, the JRI goes beyond being a measurement tool.It can support firms in identifying which functions are changing most rapidly, anticipating emerging skill gaps early, understanding the defining skills that are growing in demand, and guiding efforts to build a workforce that is better prepared for future demands!This episode will be in our Listen and Learn format, which covers a selection of popular career-linked articles on our website.Keeping in the spirit of the times, you’ll be hearing from CareerCompass’ AI colleague Aileen, on how best to use and understand the JRI!Key Highlights to Listen to(((Over 100,000 jobs await.
