The Future of Work: Skills for Remote Working
While the world is changing because of new technologies, people are adapting to meet new standards. Nowadays, tech professionals are in demand, as they have been able to help companies stay relevant.
The future of work might be uncertain for those who have no tech skills in their skillset. Under those circumstances, to stay current, employees must be aware of what skills are helping to shape the future of work. Major companies are looking for remote working skills in their new candidates. It’s because remote working is beneficial for employees as well as organizations.
In Australia, more than 60% of companies now offer remote working benefits to their employees. With this in mind, it’s important to say that working from home allows workers to spend more valuable time with their family members. Also, they don’t need to waste time moving from one place to another.
In the same way, remote working allows companies to reduce operational costs, enhance productivity, and attract tech talents. Given these points, in this article, we are going to discuss what skills you need for remote working and thrive in the future of work.
Python
Python is a programming language that has been widely used because of its ability to analyse, visualise, and interpret data. Data is the future workplace’s most valuable resource. For that reason, organisations need skilled python professionals that could help them achieve their goals.
Also, it’s very useful for remote working. In fact, data scientists, software engineers, and even web developers love Python as it helps them complete their work duties at home. Python is one of the best upskilling choices people can make, as it is easy to learn and has a large community that’s able to provide help whenever you need it.
Learning Python can be difficult for those who don’t know where to start. Given that, it’s essential to say that online coding bootcamps are a good place to do it.
It’s an excellent choice to start a new tech career as well as change your lifestyle.
JavaScript
JavaScript has become very popular in recent times. It allows developers to build outstanding websites very easily. For that reason, web developers prefer to use JavaScript as it makes their duties less time-consuming.
On the other hand, JavaScript allows developers to create sites with fantastic user interfaces. They can add interactive scroll transitions and object movements, making websites even more engaging for customers.
Also, companies hire JavaScript developers because they can build client-side as well as server-side web apps. In the same way, there is a large availability of libraries and frameworks that developers can use to create complex applications.
When we talk about web development, it’s vital to point out that programming languages like JavaScript are helping innovate the market.
Full-stack JavaScript developers earn an incredible six-figure salary in Australia. In that case, it can be compared to engineers and construction managers’ wages.
Full-stack web developers are the perfect fit for remote working. In fact, they can do everything they need to without putting a foot in an office. The only thing they’ll need is a reliable internet connection and permission to access the company’s network.
Machine Learning
Tech professionals with machine learning skills are sought out talent. Organisations need machine learning to remain competitive as it helps them to create products that meet customers’ requirements. At the same time, machine learning is not only improving products but also how they’re made.
Automated processes are vital to increase productivity and reduce costs. Given that, organisations need to hire candidates that could provide systems the ability to learn. With the use of machine learning, systems and machines can learn how to complete a task and become better at it. However, they still need users’ inputs to train the algorithm.
Machine learning is essential for every tech professional, from mobile developers to data scientists. It’s because it makes their jobs less time-consuming. On the other hand, Australian companies like Five2One offer incredible salaries to candidates with machine learning skills. Tech professionals can earn up to $149 per hour.
As the world is constantly changing because of tech innovations, the demand for machine learning talents will increase. It’s because companies will need to develop more sophisticated products to meet future customers’ demands.

Cybersecurity skills
We’re living in a world where data is one of the most valuable resources. For that reason, companies need to secure their information. Gathered data is used by experts to create insights and lead companies to success; helping to improve products and processes.
Under those circumstances, data can be a key factor in allowing a company to stay in the competition. Companies have now started to hire cybersecurity specialists that could keep data safe.
Cybersecurity specialists are responsible for monitoring attacks and intrusions as well as develop solutions to fight potential threats. Also, they look for vulnerabilities and risks in software and hardware components. They have a lot on their shoulders. For that reason, their salaries are also impressive.
Learning cybersecurity skills will enable you to be part of the next world workforce. Also, it will increase your job opportunities and receive more attractive job offers. Good compensations won’t convince cybersecurity candidates. As a result, employers have needed to change their hiring strategies and provide great perks as well.
Although the job role is made for remote working, you can also go to the office to do your duties.
As can be seen, tech skills are essential to overcome new challenges. Remote working is the new standard, and for that reason, learning skills that allow you to work from home is crucial. As days pass, Australian companies hire more and more tech talents. In that case, learning tech skills is the right decision to make.
