It’s clear that core roles in sales, software engineering, and healthcare continue to be essential across industries. Retail is also a strong contender, with four roles in the top 10, proving its resilience in the market. Tech roles like software engineers and full-stack developers remain hot commodities as well.

Building career development opportunities doesn’t have to break the bank. There are plenty of creative, budget-friendly ways to help employees grow and stay engaged. Mentorship programs are a fantastic start, where seasoned team members can share their expertise, and newer employees can bring in fresh perspectives. Reverse mentoring is also a win-win, with junior employees teaching others their tech-savvy skills. Online courses are another flexible way to upskill without a big investment, and cross-departmental projects allow employees to dip their toes into different areas, gaining new skills and insights along the way. To keep things simple and accessible, consider lunch and learn sessions led by in-house experts. It’s an easy way for team members to learn new skills from their colleagues and share knowledge across the board. Job shadowing can also be a fantastic low-cost tool, allowing employees to learn directly from others in the company. This doesn’t have to be limited to onboarding; regular shadowing can help employees gain hands-on experience with new skills whenever they’re ready to learn more. Tapping into free resources like industry webinars and bringing in external experts from your network can also be valuable, giving employees exposure to fresh ideas and practical skills. While these cost-effective options work wonders, remember that investing in career development—whether through time or a modest budget—can have a big impact on employee engagement, retention, and your bottom line. #woodsco #woodscoglobal
