The ranking was published on January 26, 2010, in the article “The most sought-after professions of the near future” by Marek Rabij. According to Marek Rabij, new social and demographic trends, and even fashion, have a significant impact on economic fluctuations.
– The internet, an aging society, and increasing social mobility – all of this will change the balance of power in many professions in the coming years. The European Working Condition Observatory office at the European Commission estimates in its latest report that in Poland, it will be best to link one’s future with the service industry, where almost half a million new jobs will be created in the next five years. Specialists in transport and warehouse management will also fare quite well – between 2010 and 2015, more than 100,000 jobs will be added for them – claims Marek Rabij, “Newsweek”.
Similar conclusions emerge from research conducted at the beginning of this year by the portal otoPraca.pl.
– Engineers, IT specialists, electronics engineers, and construction workers have it easier. There are few such qualified employees on the labor market, and the demand for them is constantly growing – claims Marta Krauze from the otoPraca.pl service. – Job advertisements for these specialists are more specific. The candidate sees in black and white what earnings they can expect, what non-wage benefits are included (whether they will get a company car, a laptop, or a free medical care package for their family), and what contract the employer will offer them – adds Marta Krauze..
The fact that the market needs graduates of logistics programs does not surprise the Chancellor of the College of Logistics in Poznań – a university educating logisticians at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as engineering and postgraduate studies.
– The market is receptive. We should talk about the logistics services market, because that in some way directs graduates who apply for jobs. They cannot forget that logistics is present in every type of enterprise. Of course, not every employer sees the value in hiring a logistician who could change their cost structure, inventory, or otherwise add value to the enterprise, but a logistician could find their place everywhere and perform their work well. Therefore, on one hand, the trend for logistics pushes people into the profession, and on the other, there is an appreciation of logistics as a future profession, not just as a logistics service, but as an element of the functioning of every enterprise. This develops awareness among employers who, while engaged in production or trade, see the need to hire a logistician and entrust them with tasks that were previously done by various people without realizing it – claims Ireneusz Fechner, Chancellor of WSL.
