Technology is evolving fast, new things are coming up every day, and so it might be hard to keep up with every single innovation. However, if you are seeking a boost in your career, experts share some 21st Century skills that could help in this endeavour.

According to Jean Michelle Habineza, co-founder of iDebate Rwanda, career growth needs problem-solving skills.

"This is when an individual is able to think through problems and figure out how to solve them, because, at the end of the day, employers are hiring people who have the skills to suggest solutions,” he says.

People who are able to provide solutions are probably the most suitable for the workforce, he says, adding that great communication skills are also highly needed.

"Communication is key; one must learn how to be articulate and make complicated ideas simple. Having the ability to communicate effectively opens doors to career growth,” Habineza says.

Alex Kalisa, a career coach, says critical thinking skills are crucial for career success.

"Critical thinking is a valuable skill for all aspects of life. It benefits problem solving, creativity, and teamwork, which makes one a competitive employee and leader,” he says.

He adds that people need wisdom and life skills to enable them to be an all-around individuals who can thrive in personal and work life.

Experts say that being able to evaluate productivity is another efficient skill to consider for career success.

Instead of just working to get stuff done, evaluate your daily or weekly routines and consider how you can simplify and re-invent your job for the sake of your team and the quality of your work.

Learn how to make "smart to-do” lists, ones you can actually accomplish, and don’t just overwhelm yourself with a multitude of tasks.

Collaboration is another key to consider. This involves working in coordination with others to convey information or tackle problems. All these, experts say, are essential to the 21st Century workforce, where being able to critically evaluate and convey knowledge, as well as work well with a team, is the norm.
