The framework categorizes skills into core areas, including digital literacy, AI proficiency, data analytics, sustainability expertise, and soft skills such as adaptability and critical thinking. Furthermore, this paper explores the necessary transformations within the workforce, highlighting the structural changes needed in education, corporate training, and policy frameworks to align skill development with future market demands.
