But, in order to answer those questions, we must look for the most in-demand skills that employers are looking for in their new hirings.
At the same time, we have to pay attention to what kind of technologies or techniques major companies are incorporating into their operations.
The tech market is indeed evolving too fast, and at the same time, there are a lot of new technologies available. However, there are only a few ones that are reshaping the way companies operate.
Given these points, we must realize that the tech industry is considerably affecting the nature of today’s jobs. On the positive side, we know that this will go on further and that technology will keep bringing changes to our everyday life.
We must adapt just like most companies are doing, so that in the future, we will be able to work harmoniously alongside robots, for example, if need be.
When you think about it, we have already seen a glimpse of what the future is actually going to look like. Here’s a list of some tech skills that are revolutionizing the way people work today.
Read on further to see if you can find one that suits your interests and subsequently help you face new challenges that are coming up in tomorrow’s job market.
Machine Learning
Machine learning is a new technology that has been used by large-sized companies such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, among others.
In fact, almost every kind of company is willing to use machine learning in order to improve its products and services. A good and clear example of machine learning’s use is Tesla. The automotive company has used machine learning on its vehicles in order to provide them with the ability to recognize objects in the street, as well as the ability to become self-driven cars.
In other words, the vehicles are able to improve their own performance by learning from experience. As can be seen, machine learning is gradually becoming the “it” technology and therefore, will likely continue to make splashes in the following years.
Employers are continually searching for this kind of talent in their new hirings. If you want to get started, the best route to take is coding bootcamps as they typically offer immersive, budget-friendly, and time-efficient courses to get students job-ready the soonest possible.
Springboard, for example, offers flexible courses that are designed to groom you to be industry-ready within just six months. You also get to learn from the comfort of your home if you wish to do so. Its self-paced courses offer students the chance to develop enterprise-level skills.
As a result, students will show their abilities in portfolio projects. Also, Springboard offers support from industry mentors and its large student/alumni community to its students.
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Amazon Web Services or AWS, for short, has become very popular lately. In fact, it is the most widely-used cloud computing service these days.
AWS is great for startups, as well as large-sized companies. It provides all the essential tools that companies need to start using the cloud. As you may know, large volumes of data are produced every day.
So, the best way to store data is by using the cloud as you don’t need an infrastructure to operate. Also, Amazon provides its clients with low-cost migration services.
As a result, your existing infrastructure can be moved over to Amazon’s cloud without any worry of losing valuable information.
As more companies are using cloud computing services, having this skill in your portfolio is becoming essential. Cloud computing is reshaping the way company store their information so it is likely that the trend will continue until we reach a day when physical structures are no longer needed to store data.
It is advisable to pick up this skill, especially because the demand for cloud computing experts are growing. Schools like Coding Dojo, for instance, are offering courses that can help you become proficient in emerging technologies.
If you are looking to learn AWS, you should enrol in its online part-time coding bootcamp. Coding Dojo’s online part-time bootcamp is designed to teach you web fundamentals, as well as full stack development skills.
Python
Python is a programming language that is widely used these days. Python is helping to reshape the future in every kind of way.
For example, data scientists use Python because of its ability to visualize, organize, and interpret data. As a result, they can create insights more accurately and spend less time to get the job done.
Python is also used by web developers because it is an exceptional programming language for both front end and back end coding. For this reason, it is a critical skill that more employers are looking for in new recruits.
So, if you want to boost your employability starting from today, you should join Thinkful’s coding bootcamp. The school offers flexible courses in software engineering, data science, data analytics, and other in-demand fields.

Court Sanctions CHI Limited for Wrongful Employment Termination
By Modupe Gbadeyanka
The termination of the employment of one Mr Bodunrin Akinsuroju by CHI Limited has been declared as unlawful by the National Industrial Court of Nigeria.
Delivering judgment on the matter, Justice Sanda Yelwa of the Lagos Judicial Division of the court held that the sacking of Mr Akinsuroju did not comply strictly with the provisions of the contract of employment and the Employee Handbook.
Consequently, the company was directed to pay him the sum of N2 million as general damages for wrongful termination and N200,000 as costs of action, while Mr Akinsuroju was ordered to return the company’s properties in his possession or pay their assessed market value.
Justice Yelwa found that the contract agreement between both parties clearly required either party to give 30 days’ notice or payment in lieu of notice after confirmation of appointment, and there was no evidence that the employee was given the required notice or paid salary in lieu of notice.
The judge held that failure to comply with this fundamental term amounted to a breach of the contract of employment, thereby rendering the termination wrongful.
Mr Akinsuroju had claimed that the allegation of misconduct against him was unfounded and not established, maintaining that the disciplinary committee proceedings were prejudicial and that the termination of his employment was without justifiable cause and without compliance with the agreed terms of his employment.
In defence, CHI Limited contended that it had the right to terminate the employment of Mr Akinsuroju and that the termination was lawful and in accordance with the contract of employment and the Code of Conduct.
In opposition, counsel to Mr Akinsuroju submitted that the alleged breaches were not proved and that the termination letter took immediate effect without the requisite 30 days’ notice or payment in lieu of notice as stipulated in the letter of appointment and the Employee Handbook, urging the court to hold that the termination was wrongful and to grant the reliefs sought.

Tinubu Appoints Tunji Disu as Acting Inspector General of Police
By Modupe Gbadeyanka
President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday appointed Mr Tunji Disu as the acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), following the resignation of Mr Kayode Egbetokun.
Mr Disu, an Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), was recently moved to the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos.
A statement today by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, disclosed that the President would convene a meeting of the Nigeria Police Council shortly to formally consider the appointment of Mr Disu as substantive IGP, after which his name will be transmitted to the Senate for confirmation.
Mr Tinubu expressed confidence that Mr Disu’s experience, operational depth, and demonstrated leadership capacity would provide steady and focused direction for the Nigeria Police Force during this critical period.
He reiterated his administration’s unwavering commitment to enhancing national security, strengthening institutional capacity, and ensuring that the Nigeria Police Force remains professional, accountable, and fully equipped to discharge its constitutional responsibilities.
Mr Egbetokun was said to have resigned from the position due to pressing family considerations.
President Tinubu, who accepted the resignation letter, expressed his profound appreciation for Mr Egbetokun’s decades of distinguished service to the Nigeria Police Force and the nation. He acknowledged his dedication, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to strengthening internal security architecture during his tenure.
Appointed in June 2023, Mr Egbetokun was serving a four-year term scheduled to conclude in June 2027, in line with the amended provisions of the Police Act.
The statement disclosed that his replacement was in view of the current security challenges confronting the nation, and acting in accordance with extant laws and legal guidance.

Tunji Disu to Become New IGP as Egbetokun Quits
By Adedapo Adesanya
Mr Tunji Disu, an Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), has reportedly replaced Mr Kayode Egbetokun as the new Inspector General of Police (IGP).
Mr Egbetokun resigned from the position on Tuesday after he was said to have held a meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Monday night at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
President Tinubu appointed Mr Egebtokun as the 22nd IGP on June 19, 2023, with his appointment confirmed by the Nigeria Police Council on October 31, 2023.
Appointed as IGP at the age of 58, Mr Egbetokun was due for retirement on September 4, 2024, upon reaching the mandatory age of 60, but his tenure was extended by the President, creating controversies, which trailed him until his exit from the force today.
Although the police authorities are yet to comment on the matter or issue an official statement about his resignation, the move came amid reports suggesting that Mr Egbetokun has left the position.
Mr Egbetokun’s tenure was marred by a series of controversies; he recently initiated multiple charges against activist Mr Omoyele Sowore and his publication, SaharaReporters, after Mr Sowore publicly described him as an “illegal IGP.”
The dispute escalated into protracted legal battles, with the Federal High Court issuing injunctions restricting further publications relating to the former police chief and members of his family. Critics interpreted these court actions as attempts to stifle dissent and weaken press freedom.
His replacement, Mr Disu, was posted to oversee the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos, some days ago.
