### What the data is telling leaders

The skills conversation is noisy. What cuts through is scale and comparability. The **QS World Future Skills Index** draws on **280M job postings** and **5M+ employer skill demands**, alongside **5,000+ universities** and **17.5M research publications**, to track how workforce needs are evolving across regions and sectors.

So what does that mean in practice? Two capability clusters are showing up again and again in leadership priorities:

- **AI literacy + judgement** (how people use AI responsibly to improve decisions and productivity)
- **Entrepreneurial thinking** (innovation, agility, resilience, and the ability to act under uncertainty)

Global Skills Week is built to move those from abstract priorities into choices leaders can implement.
