Quiz: Can you match these futuristic job roles to their description?

Futuristic jobs: what will they entail and what will they be named?

No one knows for certain, despite educators’ efforts to prepare students for the future workplace.

Seeking the answers, the American multinational corporation Cognizant, hasn’t just provided the public with digital, technology, consulting and operations servicUniveres, it has also provided a full-length report about the 21 Jobs of the Future.

“Concern about a ‘jobless future’ has never been greater. Seemingly every day, an academic, researcher or technology leader suggests that in a world of automation and artificial intelligence (AI), workers will increasingly be a surplus to what businesses need,” it states.

But before you read into the types of jobs Cognizant thinks will disappear and what will replace them, why not try to match up the report’s futuristic job titles with their given description?

This job will expect you to build the smart infrastructure capabilities for EC. Reporting to the CIO, you will define the IoT roadmap, carefully evaluate the technical requirements and assess the feasibility for establishing the edge processing unit and measure the return on investments.
