Abstract

This study uses available job advertisements to understand organizations' digital skills needs. The study points out that while advanced skills are sometimes required, they are overshadowed by basic competencies, which seem to be lacking and yet necessary for a very large number of jobs. The results highlight that it is also necessary to think beyond the expertise related to digital transformation projects and worry about the skills required to execute these transformed activities. The results show that the most in-demand digital skills are those related to office tools, but there is also a growing demand for more specialized ICT skills. Cette étude utilise les offres d’emplois publiées pour comprendre les besoins des organisations en compétences numériques. L’étude souligne que si les compétences de pointe sont parfois requises, elles sont toutefois éclipsées par les compétences de base, qui semblent manquantes et pourtant nécessaires pour un très grand nombre d’emplois. Les résultats soulignent qu’il faut également penser aux compétences requises au-delà de l’expertise liée aux projets de transformation numérique, pour ensuite assurer la réalisation des activités d’exploitation une fois qu’elles ont été transformées. Les résultats montrent aussi que les compétences numériques les plus recherchées sont celles liées aux outils bureautiques, mais qu’il existe également une demande croissante pour des compétences plus spécialisées en matière de technologies de l’information et de communication.
