Top 10 skills in demand 2025
There are numerous sites with this or similar information on what are the most in demand skills of 2025.
Some of my recent posts point to courses or information on these areas. Others will require your own research [2]. This list is from True Digital Academy [1].
- Data Science & Cloud Computing
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine learning (ML)
- Big Data
- Digital Marketing and strategy
- Process Automation
- Business Development
- Digital Transformation
- Information Security and Cybersecurity
- Software and Application development
- Internet of things
I made a post a few years ago, with a link to training courses from the Linux Foundation and others [3]. So there are some links that are related to the above list.

Devon needs AI skills for growth
BBC NEWS:
Interesting article from BBC news on 9th April, Devon needs AI skills for growth. The Devon & Somerset Local Skills Improvement Plan are looking at ways to help people develop the skills for the future.
I think AI can sort of be put in to 3 boxes
- Machine Learning (ML)
- Generative AI (GenAI)
- Large Language Models (LLM)
I have put a Blog post on Linux foundation training which has some links, to courses run by the Linux Foundation, EdX and others and in fact EdX, offer a number of AI courses, but as everything needs something (usually a server running Linux) to actually run on, it seems that learning how to use, maintain and administer GNU/Linux operating systems is also essential. There are a lot of AI software / Tools or Libraries under a GNU or similar licences anyway.
It could be an opportunity for the Devon and Cornwall GNU/Linux user group to expand and gain new members, who can at least get help and advice to get started, even though it is much easier to install than it was 25 years ago.

Small Modular Reactors explained
Just making a post on this, as it may also be of interest to others looking at related careers. Sounds a good opportunity to get some great training in this field.

SMRs are defined as small nuclear reactors with a maximum output of 300 Megawatt electric (MWe) and can produce 7.2 million kWh per day. By comparison, large-size nuclear power plants have an output of over 1,000 MWe and can produce 24 million kWh per day. SMRs can vary in size from around 20 megawatts electric (MWe) up to 300 MWe and can use a range of possible coolants including light water, liquid metal or molten salt, depending on the technology.
A post on Fedi, highlights the EU support for Small Module reactors @Energy4Europe
The EU is supporting research and development of Small Modular Reactors via the Euratom Research and Training Programme,
