Which university guarantees that tomorrow you will not be left without a job? Why does a chef need a university degree? Who are the "centaurs"? What will the digital school teach? HSE Rector Yaroslav Kuzminov answers questions from RG.

Yaroslav Ivanovich, the most difficult question for young people is where to find a job. Many, when choosing a place of study, are guided by the top 50 in-demand professions. But recently, experts said that the top 50 has little to do with the real needs of the market. How then to choose a future specialty?

Yaroslav Kuzminov: It is becoming more and more difficult to choose a specialty in advance. The labor market is changing in leaps and bounds, and no matter what "promising" specialties universities offer, they may lose their relevance in a few years.

Even 50 years ago - in the 1970s - there were only 5-7 percent of people who were paid for creating something fundamentally new, and not working on detailed tasks. Now in megacities there are already almost a third of such workers. In 25 years, workers with creative tasks will be 35-40 percent.

There is a digital revolution, a person is gradually freed from routine tasks. This is expressed in the disappearance of many professions - dispatcher, accountant, accountant, secretary, PC operator. The remaining professions are becoming more and more creative. A new concept has appeared in the world - "centaurs". This is a teacher, doctor, engineer, equipped with digital assistants that free up time for interesting tasks. The "middle peasants", conscientiously pulling the strap, are gradually being squeezed out of the core of the profession. But if you are ready to "buy education" - you will not become more than an average peasant.

Does it make sense to enter the profile classes of schools?

Yaroslav Kuzminov: Look in advance for what you are interested in, try yourself in it. Hundreds of specialized senior classes have been created in Moscow - from engineering and natural sciences to medical and cadet classes - you can "try on" yourself for different professions. We created a lyceum at HSE several years ago - there you can sort through all the university sciences that are not at school, find something that will captivate you. And if you liked archeology or astronomy, go there, don't listen to the advice "it's not promising", "they don't earn". A true professional is always in demand and earns well. And not only in Russia - the labor market has acquired a truly global character.

Successful high school graduates need to look for a strong university. Focus on the one with the highest average USE score in your field. After all, the quality of education is a derivative of three factors. Your own efforts, the quality of the teachers and the quality of the students who study with you.

What to prepare for those who go to technical schools and colleges? Will they find a use for themselves?

Yaroslav Kuzminov: The economy has a steady demand for skilled performers, be it workers or service workers, nurses or operators technological complexes. This will not change in the foreseeable future - about a third must "work with their hands." In the work of the performer, the role of qualification and responsibility also increases. Everyone needs such an employee, and he is paid a lot.

Worldwide over the past 20 years social status skilled workers rose and practically equaled the status of people of mental labor.

"Centaurs" are a teacher, doctor, engineer equipped with digital assistants

The problem with Russia today is that colleges are often attended by those who are simply not motivated to study. And schoolchildren who can find themselves in "working with their hands", as a rule, study better and enter universities. Often they, already with a higher education, then find themselves in the work of a worker, driver, farmer. According to the Association of Restaurateurs and Hoteliers, 90 percent of chefs in Moscow restaurants are people with non-core higher education who entered the profession at the age of 25-30.

What to do? It is necessary to start introducing technology to schoolchildren from the age of 11-12, to show a number of professions in practice.

How to integrate technology into the curriculum of schoolchildren?

Yaroslav Kuzminov: Technologies that allow you to get acquainted with professions exist today. This, for example, computer games- strategies, simulations and role-playing. You can fly a stormtrooper, build a house in 3D, manage a restaurant. This can be an initial career guidance platform. The next stage is practice in real production. Game approaches to training and career guidance were born a long time ago, it’s just that their application in reality should not lag behind the development of technology. It is necessary to develop class, school, interschool competitions, Olympiads in applied skills.

We have 46,000 schools, 26 of them are rural, where there is not always even a warm toilet. 3D modeling, production practices - aren't forecasts too bold?

Yaroslav Kuzminov: By 2021, every community with more than 100 people will have Wi-Fi at school. Today, 80 percent of families have tablets; buying them for the remaining 20 percent of schoolchildren is quite realistic for the state.

What will be taught in the digital school?

The question "Where to go to study?" stands before graduates sharply: often, when they enter an educational institution, they do not fully understand what kind of profession they choose. This misunderstanding may persist until graduation.

Unlike Russian schools, students abroad are not only prepared for admission to specific universities, but also carry out serious work on career guidance, identifying their talents and inclinations. Students from foreign schools study a wide range of subjects: from classical civilization and psychology to robotics and the latest business technologies. They can practice rowing or debating, play chess or attend a Shakespeare club.

To find a secondary school abroad for your child, please contact IQ Consultancy. We will help you choose the educational institution that suits you, as well as prepare the child in language and subjects so that he feels comfortable from the very beginning of education.

The older the students get, the more disciplines they try. This means that the more choice - what they are interested in as future profession what they tend to do. As a result, by the age of 16, 90% of foreign students already know who they want to become.
In addition, career consultants work with students in secondary schools in Europe and America. Educational institutions also collaborate with big companies. Schoolchildren get the opportunity to work in starting positions during the holidays and set specific career goals for themselves.

But it is not enough to enter an interesting specialty - it is important to understand how and where to apply the acquired knowledge. Often, Russian graduates with deep fundamental knowledge do not have enough practice. This leads to the fact that more than half of our graduates by the end of their studies lose interest in learning and work outside their specialty.

If you have already graduated from a Russian university, but want to change your specialty or get more modern education in your field, consider applying to a foreign university. You can get a bachelor's degree in a new field for yourself, continue your specialized studies in a master's program or take intensive professional courses in their specialty. Learn more from our consultants.

Foreign universities offer up-to-date knowledge and develop practical skills of students. Most higher educational institutions- these are also research centers with their own laboratories, where students work on their projects and participate in the development of large companies.

Studying at a foreign university makes it possible to stay in another country (for example, Canada has soft immigration conditions for young professionals) and build a career at the world level. For those who do not want to leave their country forever, studying at a foreign university is an excellent experience and an important advantage for employment in Russia, especially since many foreign universities teach narrow specialties, which are not yet available in Russian universities.

The modern world is changing at such a speed that humanity does not have time to adapt to the current realities. What seemed absolutely unrealistic 5 years ago is not surprising today. The development of high technologies has literally turned the world upside down and has already laid the foundation for the modern future. Today's realities are as follows: people who have received higher education in the humanitarian and other similar fields, one has to look for ways to retrain for other, most in-demand professions. The same applies to white collar workers. A large number of professions that were so much in demand a few years ago are being replaced by new ones that require different knowledge and individual training. What professions will be in demand in 10 years? We will talk about this in this article.

Professions

Engineers. In the coming years, a sharp jump in demand for these specialists is expected. Unfortunately, a small part of secondary schools sends their students to study this profession, because of the reason "Lack of opportunity to get a job!". It is in 7-10 years that the time of engineers will come. Since the beginning of 2012, the number of vacancies for engineers has increased 5 times, the same trend can be expected in the near future.

IT specialists. The 21st century is the time of high technologies. Many "typical" professions, for example, such as: an accountant, a salesman, and the like, will die out. Most of the vacancies in the labor market will be related to high technology and the Internet. This category includes: programmers, system administrators, web designers, etc.

Ecologists. Due to the fact that the Earth suffers severe environmental degradation, given profession will become very popular, and most importantly, important for the preservation of mankind and the entire ecology of the planet as a whole. Experts note that people with education related to waste disposal and pollution prevention will be especially in demand.

Beauty and health. Unfortunately, these industries are not in great demand at the present time, and the reason for this is the popularity of the profession only among young people. In 7-10 years, work related to the beauty and health of a person will become much more in demand.

Builders and architects. Due to the fact that in Lately there is an active transformation of both cities and towns, professions related to construction and architecture will only become more popular, and the number of vacancies will increase by the thousands.

Conclusion

It is the above professions that will enjoy most in demand after 10 years. At the present time, there is already a great increase in attention to these professions, and the number of vacancies is increasing every year. Remember and don't forget to follow current trends. Observing and tracking the trends that are happening at the present time will allow you to choose the most suitable one for your interests, as well as highly paid profession. Most of the professions that are especially popular at the present time will die out. Human labor will be replaced automated systems, completely replacing human truly trifling labor. Salespeople, inspectors, factory workers will be out of work. Do you want, but can not decide on your future profession? Think, analyze the current realities and give preference to the professions that we told you about in this article.

Many people think about the choice of their future profession even in their school years. Everyone tries to determine an interesting activity for themselves, which will bring both pleasure and stable income. But it is not always possible to make a correct forecast, and after graduating from a university, it turns out that the occupation that was chosen and seemed more than promising is now not in demand. In fact, guessing the growth in popularity of a particular field of activity is a thankless task, since many unpredictable factors influence this. However, it is still possible to take into account something. So, we invite you to consider which professions are the most promising in the world for the next 10 years.

Doctors

The field of medicine is currently experiencing a significant shortage of talented doctors, and in 10 years the situation will not change significantly. Young specialists in demand in this field are increasingly finding work in commercial establishments where their work is rewarded in a worthy manner. The need for personnel in the medical field is most clearly observed in budget organizations, where talented doctors who have gone on a well-deserved rest, new really gifted personnel are not particularly in a hurry to come to replace talented doctors.

In the coming years, specialists of a certain profile will be in demand mainly:

• allergists;
• immunologists;
• endocrinologists;
• ophthalmologists;
• nutritionists;
• otolaryngologists.

And the highest paid and remain anesthesiologists, surgeons and dentists.

Marketers

The top profession is a marketer. Moreover, competent analysts are needed today, and despite the fact that a glut of the market for goods and services is expected in a few years, the relevance of this type of occupation will not be lost in the future. This job requires dynamic people who can make predictions about consumer preferences. Collect information and analyze it - with this kind of occupation, it is necessary analytical warehouse mind, creativity and ingenuity.

The features of this profession will be as follows:

• energetic, mobile and active people are required for such a position;
• work is considered creative, so you will not be bored;
• at first, you can’t count on big earnings, but if you have some experience, the pay is quite decent.

The demand for competent personnel in the IT field today is quite high and, as statistics show, it is twice the supply.

IT-sphere

Computerization is growing rapidly and does not think of stopping, so IT specialists will be in great demand in 10 years. Programming languages ​​require certain knowledge, skills and mathematical abilities. The demand for competent personnel is already quite high today and, as statistics show, it is twice the supply. Immediately after graduation from a higher educational institution, companies offer high starting salaries, the growth of which does not stop in the future.

Topical areas are:

• development of mobile applications;
• technical support specialists;
• system administration;
• engineers and web programmers;
• database administrator.

translators

Almost all large and small companies and enterprises, when recruiting staff, put forward a mandatory requirement - knowledge of a foreign language. And spoken English is the default. In work, more and more often we have to deal with technical texts, which can only be translated by a person who knows foreign language at a high enough level. For this reason, if you want to become a translator, you should additionally master a certain area, for example, legal, technical, etc. In addition, in 10 years not only experts will be in great demand in English, but also others, in particular, eastern ones.

What are the characteristics of this profession? They are the following:

• perspective - you have the opportunity to learn a lot about other countries and people;
• be prepared for the fact that when entering such a specialty, you will be required to have a high passing score;
• The amount of salary can vary from insignificant to quite solid amounts.

Ecologists

This profession is gaining quite a lot of popularity, and 10 years later, with population growth and development industrial enterprises its relevance will only increase. Both developing and already the developed countries trying to solve existing environmental problems. A lot of people think about it, talk a lot, and even today they are trying to make their contribution.

In the coming years, it will rapidly gain momentum, and universities will train new specialists. This occupation is noble and creative, interesting, but at the same time very difficult.

What is required from environmentalists?

• Ability to navigate the legal framework.
• Education according to the profile.
• Mathematical thinking.
• Ability to conduct laboratory research.

teachers

The situation in the pedagogical sphere is somewhat similar to the medical one. There are very few qualified personnel, and the shortage of experienced teachers is quite acute. Specialists in this field will be needed in 10 years, but at the same time tolerance, humanity and understanding should become additional qualities of the teacher of the future. He should ideally not only know his material, but also be a talented psychologist in order to be able to establish contact with the younger generation. After all, the craving for knowledge largely depends on the presentation of the subject and interaction with students.

The only thing left for the heads of state is to reconsider the value wages education workers, and the problem with the availability of competent personnel will be resolved fairly quickly.

This is one of the most in-demand professions of the future. Its meaning lies in the disclosure of the unknown properties of a wide variety of substances and in work at the atomic and molecular level. People who choose this occupation for themselves can move in one of three main directions:

• creation and manufacture of microcircuits;
• production of robots in nanoscale;
• nuclear engineering.

After 10 years, absolutely all specialties in this field will be relevant: from Food Industry to space technologies, from mechanical engineering to medicine.

workers

Professions where you need to work mainly with your hands complete our top. In fact, the urgent need for experienced masons, carpenters and electricians is already felt now, and they will also be urgently needed in every enterprise 10 years from now. People who ideally own their working specialty will always be in demand. At the same time, the opinion that this kind of occupation is characterized by a low salary and is one of the lowest levels in society is already quite rarely confirmed.

That worker, who has the highest qualifications and at the same time treats the performance of his duties with great responsibility, is actually able to receive quite a lot. An additional plus of such professions is that both in the presence and in the absence of a permanent place in the specialty, you can always find a side job.

When choosing a field of activity today, it is worth considering whether it will be in demand tomorrow, since further employment will depend on your decision. After all, I really want to hope that the money spent and the titanic efforts to master a certain kind of knowledge will not be in vain.

Hello dear readers! I am very glad to you!

In previous articles, we started talking about alternative education, especially in IT professions and new professions that are not yet taught in universities (article), about the most popular and highly paid professions today (article). In this article, you will learn how choose the right professions of the future new and promising in our rapidly changing information, digital world. To be in demand by specialists in the next decade.

What profession do you need to master today in order to be a sought-after specialist in the future?

Now every schoolchild, but not every adult, knows that humanity has stepped over from the industrial era to the post-industrial (or digital, informational) one. A new technological revolution has taken place. High technologies are changing the needs of mankind at an ultra-fast pace. Therefore, many professions of the industrial age have become unclaimed.

They were replaced by new professions that no one had heard of 5 or 10 years ago, for example, trend hunter, life coach, QA engineer, SMM manager and many others.

If so many new professions have already appeared today, what will happen in 10-20 years? Whom to study today to be a sought-after specialist in the future, to be in a trend?

What skills will the professions of the future require from professionals?

We will answer this question with ease, noticing the trend of shortage in the labor market of specialists at the intersection of specialties. Analysts of recruitment companies speak about the lack of such universal specialists.

Examples from my experience: in an IT company, a business analyst and a system analyst work together, on TV - a video designer and editor, in the field of Internet marketing - a web site designer and layout designer. There are many examples of the work of specialists at the intersection of professions. So, more and more often, the labor market requires professionals who can cover both professions.

We see that IT-, bio- and other technologies have rapidly entered our lives, so analysts, researchers, futurologists predict the emergence of many professions at the intersection of sciences: molecular nutritionist, bioengineer, energy auditor, city farmer, etc.

The trends are such that the professions of the future will require such skills from specialists:

• Cross-functionality, work at the intersection of professions
• Ability to think creatively
• Willingness to retrain for life
• Willingness to change profession every 10 years
• Knowledge of several languages
• Readiness for cross-cultural movement (willingness to work in different countries due to globalization)
• Basic knowledge of IT technologies
• Ability to work remotely
• Be a big date professional (collect and work with a large amount of information)
• Be able to self-study, tk. technology development will be rapid
• Possess soft skills (think softly, positively, patiently, benevolently achieve goals)

What professions will be needed in the next decade according to "Sparks & Honey" - an American research company
