亚洲地区现在是全球经济增长的关键驱动力。因此，针对新工业革命带来的新挑战，迫切需要对产生广泛基础知识和技能的资格要求进行讨论。对亚洲大学和其他地区的高等教育机构所需要的能力进行调查是至关重要的，因为很大一部分大学毕业生可能很快就会在亚洲国家工作。本文确定了三个职业的未来能力，这些职业代表了工业4.0时期潜在行业对高技能人才的需求：机器人工程师、数据科学家和食品设计师。本研究描述了通过文献综述获得的见解，随后通过焦点小组讨论和个人访谈对所需能力进行了深入调查。我们进行了问卷调查和深度访谈，以确定三个职业所必需的未来能力。最后，验证了所进行分析的稳健性。结果调查结果显示，在当前和未来的工业4.0环境中，对多种能力组合的需求。未来的雇主可能会强调多学科技能，这些技能可以分为三大类：社交、个人和方法论。世界各地的大学和高等教育机构应该向学生灌输必要的能力，培养必要的知识和技能，以满足未来十年不断变化的工作场所和充满希望的机会的需求。
IntroductionThe Asian region is now a pivotal driver of global economic growth. Urgent discussions are thus mandated on the forthcoming demands for qualifications generating broad‐based knowledge and skillsets related to emergent challenges posed by the new industrial revolution. A survey of competencies that will be required is crucial for Asian universities and higher education institutions in other regions because a large percentage of university graduates are shortly likely to work in Asian countries.ObjectiveThis paper identified the future competencies for three careers that are representative of the demand for highly skilled personnel needed in potential industries during Industry 4.0: robotics engineers, data scientists, and food designers.MethodsThis study describes the insights attained through a literature review, followed by an intensive investigation of the required competencies via focus group discussions and individual interviews. A questionnaire survey was administered and in‐depth interviews were conducted to confirm the future competencies essential for the three stated careers. Finally, the robustness of the conducted analyses was verified.ResultsThe findings revealed the demand for a diverse mix of competencies in the current and prospective Industry 4.0 environment. Future employers are likely to highlight multidisciplinary skills that may be categorized into three crucial groups: social, personal, and methodological.ConclusionUniversities and higher education institutions across the world should inculcate the required competencies in students to foster necessary knowledge and skills to meet the demands of changing workplaces and promising opportunities over the next decade.
