In an ever-changing world marked by digitalization, globalization and technological advances, the skills that were once key to professional success are no longer sufficient. The skills that dominated the employment landscape just a few years ago are being replaced by new competencies, necessary to face the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. These skills, called emerging competencies, are those that are becoming critical in today's and tomorrow's work environments.

The world is changing at a rapid pace. Professions that dominated the market for decades are disappearing, while new opportunities and fields of work are constantly emerging. Emerging competencies are crucial because they enable professionals to adapt and thrive in this uncertain and transformative environment.

Some of the reasons why emerging competencies are essential include:

1. The digitization of work: New technologies require specific skills to handle digital tools, analyze data, protect information systems, and manage projects in an agile and efficient manner.

2. Globalization: Companies are increasingly interconnected globally. This requires professionals with skills to work in multicultural teams, manage communication in digital environments and manage international relationships.

3. Constant change: Technological, social and economic developments are constantly evolving. Emerging skills enable workers to adapt quickly to these changes and maintain their relevance in the labor market.

4. The need for teamwork and interpersonal skills: Modern organizations increasingly value the ability to work as part of a team, to collaborate in collaborative environments, and to work in a team environment.

Concepts and characteristic : Developing emerging competencies involves identifying and working on skills that are becoming relevant in today's world, due to technological, social and economic changes. These competencies are key to adapt to the challenges of the future.

The development of emerging competencies involves acquiring knowledge, skills and attitudes that allow solving problems and performing in specific contexts.

The development of these emerging competencies must be addressed in a comprehensive manner, promoting continuing education, practical training and fostering a growth mindset. This can be achieved by including these aspects in educational curricula, job training and self-training to ensure that people are prepared to meet the challenges of the future.

Continuous training

To develop these competencies, it is important to maintain an attitude of continuous learning:

1. Courses and training: There are many online resources that offer training in emerging areas, from platforms such as Coursera, Udemy, to MOOCs from universities.

2. Reading: Keep up to date with articles, research, and books on emerging trends and how they affect your field.

3. Conferences and seminars: Participating in related events will help you learn about new trends and improve your skills.

To identify emerging competencies we must know or recognize which competencies are considered emerging.

# data[].attributes.body
Critical thinking: Ability to analyze and evaluate information objectively.

Complex problem solving: The ability to address problems that do not have clear or simple solutions.

Teamwork and interpersonal skills: Ability to collaborate effectively in diverse teams.

Information management: Ability to find, evaluate and use information efficiently.

Adaptability: Flexibility to adjust quickly to new environments and changes.

Creativity and innovation: The ability to generate new and original ideas.

Digital skills: Advanced use of technological tools, from programming to the management of data analysis platforms.

Practice and experimentation of emerging competence development.

# data[].attributes.body
Practice and experimentation

Emerging competencies are developed effectively through practice:

Personal or collaborative projects: If you want to improve in an area such as programming or digital design, working on personal or collaborative projects is key.

Simulations or test labs: Use simulation environments or sandbox platforms to experiment without fear of making mistakes.

Interdisciplinary projects: Collaborating with people from different areas can boost your creativity and develop skills in complex problem solving.

These practices demonstrate that developing emerging competencies requires innovative and adaptive approaches, integrating theory with practice and fostering collaboration and inclusion.

Mentoring and support networks

Having a mentor or being surrounded by a network of people who share similar interests can accelerate the development of these competencies:

Mentoring: seek out people with more experience in the area in which you want to improve. They can guide you and offer feedback.

Professional communities: Participate in groups or forums related to the competencies you want to develop. Sharing ideas and experiences with others is a great motivator.

Another accepted element is that competencies are formed and developed throughout the active life of the subject, they are related to the capacity for self-regulation and self-knowledge (there must be a metacognitive processing in order to seek quality in what is done, correct mistakes and continuously improve). In relation to the above, it can be said that its regulatory character is notorious.

It is also recognized that being competent brings with it the availability of resources and strategies that allow the subject to perform with flexibility, initiative, perseverance, autonomy and future perspective in his performance, to reflect on his own performance, an adjusted vision of his possibilities and limits.

Emerging skills require an open mind and a willingness to adapt:

Adapting to new technologies: learn to work with new tools, platforms and software that are relevant to your area.

Multidisciplinary learning: The convergence of different disciplines (such as data science and artificial intelligence) creates new opportunities. Learning concepts from different fields can help you become more innovative.

Fostering flexibility and agile thinking is essential for developing emerging competencies in an ever-changing work and educational environment. Here are effective strategies to promote these skills.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to measure your progress and adjust your strategies


Self-diagnosis: Reflection on your strengths and weaknesses in emerging areas. This will allow you to know what to work on more.



External feedback: Listening to feedback from your colleagues, mentors or supervisors is essential to continually improve.

Evaluation and feedback are essential components in the development of emerging competencies, since they allow us to identify areas of improvement and strengthen key skills in a constantly changing environment. Below are effective strategies for implementing effective evaluation and feedback.

In conclusion, emerging competence in education is key to forming individuals capable of thriving in a dynamic and globalized environment. This requires a change in the way we teach and learn, promoting flexibility, continuous learning and the ability to adapt to new realities.

As the labor market and social demands evolve, educational systems must adjust to prepare students with these skills. This implies not only the integration of new technologies in the teaching and learning processes, but also a focus on the development of emotional and social competencies that help students deal with unexpected or complex situations.
