What will the 'new you' look like beyond this virus?  As the world adapts to the ‘new normal’ and we prepare for life after COVID-19, a new report from **ING and Thinque** explores how Australians can adapt and prepare for the **digital workforce of tomorrow**. New research reveals one in three (35%) Australians will be looking for a new job after COVID-19, whilst 32% expect jobs to be very hard to come by as a result of the crisis. Concern about what the future has in store also means a quarter (23%) are fearful or anxious about future job opportunities and unsure they have the right skills. What’s more, some Aussies are rethinking their career choices, with 1 in 10 (12%) considering jobs in essential services. Check out this Channel 7 interview based on the findings in this **futurist trend report**.     ![Screen Shot 2020-05-22 at 11.22.48 am](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202020-05-22%20at%2011.22.48%20am.png?width=1338&name=Screen%20Shot%202020-05-22%20at%2011.22.48%20am.png)   The report reveals how COVID-19 has accelerated digital technology and uncovers growing industries and emerging jobs needed in the not-so-distant future.   ![Spreading avant-garde ideas to inspire (1)](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Spreading%20avant-garde%20ideas%20to%20inspire%20(1).png?width=1024&name=Spreading%20avant-garde%20ideas%20to%20inspire%20(1).png) As predicted by Sörman-Nilsson, the **industries of the future** include BioTech, Healthcare, Renewable Energy, EdTech, Robotics and Cyber Security, with a focus on combining emotional intelligence and creativity with the digital world. ** ING Head of Retail Melanie Evans** said, “It’s understandable COVID-19 has spurred an uncertainty about what the future holds. Whilst some jobs might become redundant, from our report it’s encouraging to see the **emerging jobs** that will reshape our economy.” **Sydney-based futurist Anders Sörman-Nilsson** said, “COVID-19 has accelerated the future of work and it’s likely a **decade’s worth of tech advancement will be compressed into 2020**. As a result, Aussies are eager to up-skill and move with the digi-times.” “**Pandemics have a history of spawning cultural and labour transformation.** Just as the Spanish Flu and Black Plague shifted ways of working, COVID-19 will lead to an even **closer relationship with technology**, with the rise of machine learning, artificial intelligence and robotics. This **‘2nd Renaissance’**, as I like to call it, will shape a new future powered by a combination of technology and human ingenuity. The secret to the workforce and leaders of tomorrow will be **combining our knowledge of STEM with creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation, emotional intelligence and empathy**.”  ![ezgif.com-video-to-gif (13)](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ezgif.com-video-to-gif%20(13).gif?width=600&name=ezgif.com-video-to-gif%20(13).gif) #### If you want to learn more about Futurist Anders Sörman-Nilsson's Foresights and read the ING report, [check out our blog posts: ](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/beyond-covid-future-of-work-report)['Beyond COVID' - Future of Work Report. ](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/beyond-covid-future-of-work-report) Topics: [Anders Sorman-Nilsson](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/anders-sorman-nilsson), [future of work](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/future-of-work), [2020 Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/2020-trends), [2nd Renaissance](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/2nd-renaissance) ![Anders](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/d614bfaf05c76fba53508b0a7f68214b) ### Written by [Anders](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/author/anders) ** ### Sign up for the Decoding Tomorrow newsletter ### CATEGORIES - [Anders Sorman-Nilsson](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/anders-sorman-nilsson) - [Futurist Speaker Sydney](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/futurist-speaker-sydney) - [Thinque](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/thinque) - [Disruptive Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/disruptive-trends) - [Future Thinking](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/future-thinking) - [Thought Leaders](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/thought-leaders) - [Artificial Intelligence](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/artificial-intelligence) - [Futurist](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/futurist) - [Future Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/future-trends) - [2nd Renaissance](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/2nd-renaissance) - [AI](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/ai) - [Sustainability](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/sustainability) - [2020 Vision](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/2020-vision) - [Disruption](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/disruption) - [AI Keynote Speaker](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/ai-keynote-speaker) ### INDUSTRY - [Anders Sorman-Nilsson](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/beyond-the-virus-2nd-renaissance-jobs-of-the-future#) - [Futurist Speaker Sydney](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/beyond-the-virus-2nd-renaissance-jobs-of-the-future#) - [Thinque](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/beyond-the-virus-2nd-renaissance-jobs-of-the-future#) - [Disruptive Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/beyond-the-virus-2nd-renaissance-jobs-of-the-future#) - [Thought Leaders](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/beyond-the-virus-2nd-renaissance-jobs-of-the-future#) ### RECENT FORESIGHTS [** ](https://www.facebook.com/thinquetank/) [** ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anderssormannilsson/) [** ](https://www.youtube.com/user/andersofthinque) [** ](https://twitter.com/asormannilsson) [** ](https://www.instagram.com/andersbygeorgsorman/) ### ANDERS SÖRMAN-NILSSON #### FUTURIST.
