Top 5 Technical Skills for Students: In today's technology-driven environment, acquiring technical skills is not only a coveted desire but has also become a very important necessity that shapes one's career. As students complete their studies and prepare to enter the professional world, equipping themselves with specific skills can play a vital role in advancing their career. The constant advancement of technology across all industries requires fresh graduates to not only focus on learning and understanding the basic tools but also keep themselves abreast of the ongoing developments/changes in technology.
Pankaj Kumar, Managing Director, Shard Centre for Innovation, tells you about 5 such important technical skills which all students should acquire before completing their graduation.
1. Basic Coding
Basic knowledge of coding teaches students to think logically, solve problems, and adapt to new situations. These skills are transferable to various jobs (skills that can be used in various jobs).
It promotes problem-solving skills by breaking down complex tasks into smaller, easier-to-complete parts. Since technology has now become a part of almost every industry, knowing coding is important as it gives you unique skills that can be used in many places.
2. Artificial Intelligence
An early introduction to AI helps students understand the 'how' behind the technologies they encounter every day. This helps them fight the fear of the unknown and empowers them to make informed decisions about AI in their lives.
This empowers them to advocate for the responsible development and use of AI for future generations. It can also spark a passion for STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math) in students who might not otherwise consider them. It can help uncover hidden talents, entrepreneurship, and career paths.
3. Data Science
Data science is the foundation of success in today’s industries, which rely on the ability to collect and analyze large amounts of data to extract valuable insights and achieve decision-making results.
It involves a range of scientific methods, tools, programming languages and algorithms to uncover patterns, trends and correlations within data sets. Using these techniques, students can make informed decisions, optimise processes and innovate in a variety of fields.
4. Design Thinking
Early introduction to design thinking can train students in a systematic problem-solving approach and help them develop divergent thinking abilities.
From solving simple challenges using these skills to coming up with unique solutions to solve today’s complex challenges, these advanced thinking mechanisms and tools enable young minds to succeed in their careers and professions.
