Retrain for work
May 09, 2021
More than two-thirds of workers are willing to retrain for new jobs post pandemic, says a study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and The Network. The interest is highest among early- and mid-career workers. This includes workers in the service sector, customer service, and sales roles.
“This level of flexibility could help employers and governments that are worried about preparing their workforces for the future,” said Rainer Strack, one of the authors of the study and a senior partner at BCG. The report, ‘Decoding Global Reskilling and Career Paths’, says 41 per cent of workers globally have become more concerned about automation during the pandemic.

LEBANON, N.H., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ Appcast, the global leader in programmatic recruitment advertising technology and services, today announced the final findings from the 2021 Decoding Global Talent study compiled by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), The Network and Appcast. The third study, Decoding Global Reskilling and Career Paths, reveals how economic uncertainty and a shifting labor market impacts workers willingness and preferences for reskilling for new jobs.
Workers are Interested in Reskilling
COVID-19 disrupted nearly every industry in 2020, resulting in massive layoffs and corporate downsizings. As a result of economic uncertainty, the findings unveiled today reveal that 89% of U.S. workers are willing to retrain to a different job role. Of that total, 39% said they would retrain if their job depended on it. The report finds that mid-senior workers (ages 31-40) and those with a master s degree and above are most willing to reskill.
