“We’re looking at a need for approximately nine million digital talents by 2030,” shared Rudy Salahuddin, an official from the Office of the Coordinating Economic Minister, during a December 2023 media briefing discussing the development of the digital economy. The rapid progress of technology has led to a shortage of skilled individuals in the country, particularly in fields such as programming, software engineering, software development, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, as highlighted by Rudy. However, some experts caution that predicting the specific types of workers the market will demand in the upcoming decades is challenging. “Over the next 10 years, it’s possible that the job roles available in the market will be entirely new, driven by the advancements in technology,” noted Dita Aisyah, cofounder of Binar Academy, an institution that offers digital upskilling opportunities for professionals.
