The Speed of Skill Change: How Fast Are Workforce Skills Evolving? 

The pace of change in the workforce has never been faster. As industries integrate new technologies, skills that were once in demand are shifting—and they’re shifting fast. 

Lightcast’s Speed of Skill Change report highlights just how quickly today’s workforce is evolving and what it means for employers, educators, and job seekers. 

Key Insights from the Report: 

  • Emerging tech and AI are accelerating skill shifts. 
  • Traditional degree pathways aren’t keeping up—shorter, skills-based training is rising. 
  • Organizations that adapt quickly gain a competitive edge.
