🧠 Skill & Career Trends in Data Science

1. Essential Technical Skills Remain at the Core
Recent reports highlight that programming, machine learning, analytics, and big data skills are still foundational for data scientists — especially as companies push into AI, automation, and predictive analytics roles. Employers increasingly expect fluency in tools like Python, SQL, and ML frameworks.

2. Soft Skills Are Becoming Critical
Financial Times coverage notes that in the changing labour market, soft skills (communication, critical thinking, adaptability) are becoming as valuable as technical competencies — especially as AI automates routine tasks.

3. Broader IT & Data Skills in Demand
The hottest IT skills list for 2026 shows that data science intersects closely with cloud computing, data engineering, and cybersecurity — meaning professionals with hybrid skillsets will have an edge.

4. AI Literacy Is a Must-Have
Analytics Insight’s latest trend article emphasises that AI, generative models, and automation knowledge are now among top skills worth learning to stay competitive in the job market.

5. Tech Hiring Still Growing
Data roles continue to drive tech hiring; for example, UK finance sector data and AI job vacancies are significantly rising, underscoring sustained demand.
