In that sense, specialists in industrial automation are being the most sought after by companies linked to Industry 4.0.

According to Michael Page, job offers related to the search for specialists in technologies related to industrial automation have increased by 50% in the first half of 2017 and, in this regard, it is expected that the demand for jobs related to with Industry 4.0 it will continue to grow until 2025.

Precisely, the great demand for engineers and specialist technologists is one of the issues that has been addressed in the 11th Day of Automatics, which has been held at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT), co-organized by the professor of the Department of Automation, Engineering Electrical and Electronic Technology, José Luis Muñoz, and professors Agustín Reinaldos and Héctor David Puyosa.

Industry 4.0 has associated a dozen very revolutionary and disruptive technologies that will introduce huge changes in current production systems.

These changes will require new jobs, many of them not yet defined, which will require very well trained professionals, both in these technologies and in another series of transversal skills that are necessary to be able to combine a multidisciplinary productive environment.

"This situation, what it presents is a perspective of great employability and a necessary rethinking of the capabilities that will be required of future workers.

In order to achieve this rethinking, a number of conferences are currently being held focused on the capabilities of current workers and those that will be needed in the new revolution, "said José Luis Muñoz.

Hence, it is said that engineers are the ones best positioned to meet those professional needs for their training from the technological point of view as well as from the transversal competences they learn as self-learning ability, teamwork, putting theoretical knowledge into practice, problem detection and application of solutions.
