That's a tough question to answer because technology changes so fast. Basic computer skills never go out of style. Make sure you are functional on all of the basic operating systems (pc, Mac, iOS, and Android). Be comfortable on a PC, tablet or mobile device. You don't need to be an IT tech but you should know at least the basics of both wireless and wired networking. Most business's use a lot of proprietary software so just be ready to be adaptable!

If you think of technology as the "new" environment where humans will live and interact - then any skill that is available now can be mapped to a requirement in the cyber world. Personally I think that information security / protection of data on-line will be the highest demanded job in the future (this is equivalent to policemen now). This skill is transferable from a company to another - as they all have data to protect and they are all connected online.

You need the ability to adapt quickly, technology is constantly changing and the way we use it is changing. You have to adapt with it or be left behind.

I would add Good listening skills and Communication skills are needed in the workforce now. The world is Always changing and technology is always improving. One of the good benefits of being able to communicate effectively in this society is gaining more knowledge. Some people are definitely hands on learners and some have to read the material first. Being able to communicate with your management staff while you trying to learn the job shows desire.
