BRIGHT SPARK: Innovation hubs will exploit new jobs emerging in the digital age, with the impact of growth in artificial intelligence yet to be felt in the labour market.

“Innovation hubs” aimed at nurturing and attracting start-up companies are the key to addressing the threat posed to employment by digital technologies, according to Australian Centre for Innovation executive director Ron Johnston.

“Developing a core of innovation jobs is critical to capturing … opportunities presented by digital transformation,” Mr Johnston said.

Digital technologies are among the “megatrends” identified by the federal government in employment and careers in Australia over the next 20 years.

These “megatrends” will affect the ways in which people manage their careers, how companies manage their workforces and how governments regulate and manage the labour market.

There will be fewer jobs for unskilled people.

New jobs tipped in coming years include big data analysts, complex decision support analysts, personalised preventative health helpers and online chaperones who manage risks with identity theft, reputational damage, social media bullying and internet fraud.

Workers will need to embark on continuous training as new and different jobs emerge, particularly in the IT fields such as artificial intelligence and computing power.

The traditional office will become a thing of the past, while better paid jobs will more probably be found in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
