From the very beginning, you become an important caregiver and take on important educational roles, even in conflict situations.

After completing the IT Specialist program, you will be able to work in a wide range of companies in almost all sectors of the economy.

Whether it is a computer malfunction, the installation of a new computer system or the repair of equipment, IT specialists often specialize in application development, system integration, digital networks, data analysis and process analysis.
- Electrical engineering specialist
Electrical engineers ensure that traffic lights automatically regulate traffic, connect offices to telephone and data networks, or equip buildings with lighting and air conditioning systems.

In information and telecommunications technology, you will plan and install telephone, network, and alarm systems.
- Cook
Boil, fry, deep fry - as a chef you prepare everything that pleases the taste buds.

Whether baking cookies, decorating cupcakes or creating multi-tiered wedding cakes, pastry chefs let off steam in their profession with rolling pins, mixers and sugar decorations. They decorate and embellish, transforming incredibly delicious treats into small works of art. However, it is also necessary to adhere to hygiene rules - an important part of the pastry business, as working with food requires very careful attention to quality. You need to be physically fit, because you spend most of your day standing and not only working with fluffy dough or baking tins, but also lugging heavy bags of flour around the bakery.

Forecasts and trends
What is the world waiting for? New technologies such as data analytics, robotics, robotic process automation, machine learning, and natural language processing will fundamentally change the job market. These technologies will primarily replace routine activities, and professions with a high level of human interaction and empathy will become more in demand.
In the coming years, the number of occupations in the health sector will increase by 26%, and occupations related to teaching and training by 20%. Significant growth is also expected in transportation, renewable energy sources and high-tech manufacturing. Occupations that require manual labor, such as tradesmen or caregivers, will be protected from automation. These occupations are characterized by non-standard activities, which makes them difficult to replace with artificial intelligence or robots.
Those closely related to artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalization are particularly promising. Data analysts, AI developers, and cybersecurity specialists are in high demand. The demand for AI experts has already increased by 260 percent. AI is creating new job opportunities in data analysis, software development, and e-commerce. Companies need to invest in training programs to prepare their employees for the AI era.
These trends show that the future of work is closely tied to artificial intelligence. Companies and workers who adapt early will have the best chance of taking advantage of the opportunities presented by digital transformation.
Conclusion
When choosing a career, there are various factors that ultimately influence the decision. One of the criteria should also be the future security of the respective profession that you are mastering. Certain professions, such as taxi drivers, cashiers, travel agents, bank tellers, warehouse workers and others, are in danger of disappearing, and you should inform yourself well and think carefully about whether you want to choose this career path. But all this is influenced by the adverse consequences of the military conflict that we are all currently experiencing. No one can predict the exact development of the labor market, it is too complex for that.
