Use productivity tools

Basic skills include using productivity tools, managing files in cloud storage, and communicating effectively online. Beyond basics, understanding digital security, data privacy, and online research is increasingly important.

More advanced skills—such as data analysis, automation, and digital marketing—can significantly improve career prospects. Fortunately, many of these skills can be learned online at little or no cost.

The most important digital skill, however, is adaptability. Technology evolves rapidly, and continuous learning is the key to staying relevant.
