HERE ARE THE TEN IN-DEMAND SKILLS FOR FRESHERS THIS HIRING SEASON
1. MACHINE LEARNING
Machine learning is a subgroup of what is considered artificial intelligence. In machine learning, programming focuses on algorithms and data to replicate how a human learns a task and improves skill as the machine gives more data. It includes various things such as knowing calculus or having the knowledge of Computer Science fundamentals and programming or Software designing.
2. CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing enables people to access software applications, data storage, and other services over the Internet instead of going through traditional physical servers in a back office. Cloud computing provides more flexibility and mobility. It also helps in cost saving and provides a better insight into working.
3. SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION
Search Engine Optimisation is the process used to optimise a website’s technical configuration, content relevance, and link popularity so its pages can become easily findable, more relevant, and popular for user search queries, and as a consequence, search engines rank them better.
It helps to bring organic search traffic, generates leads cost efficiency, and increases brand awareness as well.
4. DEVOPS
DevOps (a portmanteau of “development” and “operations”) is a combination of practices and tools designed to increase an organisation’s ability to deliver applications and services faster than traditional software development processes.
This speed enables organisations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market. It benefits from increased reliability and improved collaboration.
5. DATA ANALYSIS
Data analysis is the science of examining data to conclude the information to make decisions or expand knowledge on various subjects. It consists of subjecting data to operations.
This process happens to obtain precise conclusions to help us achieve our goals, such as operations that cannot be previously defined since data collection may reveal specific difficulties.
6. BUSINESS ANALYTICS
Business analytics is the process of transforming data into insights to improve business decisions. Data management, data visualisation, predictive modeling, data mining, forecasting simulation, and optimisation are some of the tools used to create insights from data.
Yet, while business analytics leans heavily on statistical, quantitative, and operational analysis, developing data visualisations to present your findings and shape business decisions is the end result.
7. SUBJECT-MATTER KNOWLEDGE
Subject Matter Knowledge extends beyond knowing a lot about something. It suggests thinking in a disciplined manner that can be applied to a multitude of places and situations.
It also suggests that going deep into content yields richer learning. If the workflow and information are correctly organised and detailed, you’ll be better equipped to meet the critical needs of the business.
8. BLOCKCHAIN
A blockchain is a distributed database that maintains a continuously growing list of ordered records, called blocks. These blocks are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data.
9. SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Supply chain management is the handling of the entire production flow of a good or service – starting with the raw components all the way to delivering the final product to the consumer.
A company creates a network of suppliers (“links” in the chain) that move the product along from the suppliers of raw materials to those organizations that deal directly with users.
10. DATA ENCRYPTION
Data encryption is a security method where information is encoded and can only be accessed or decrypted by a user with the correct encryption key. Encrypted data, also known as ciphertext, appears scrambled or unreadable to a person or entity accessing without permission.
In a nutshell, these are some of the important-in-demand skills that employers are harboring when it comes to hiring freshers. It is not necessary that a fresher should have all of these skills but he should have most of them as per the sector they want to get into.
