Where this data comes from and why it is relevant to families.
All the information you're about to read below comes from the First Job Barometer '25 published by LinkedIn News. The report analyzes which occupations have grown the most in number of hires among young people who have just finished a university degree or a master's degree. That is to say, it reflects which profiles are being incorporated right now by companies when they are looking for young talent in their first qualified job.
Which profiles are being hired most after completing a university degree
Among those who have just finished a university degree, the professions with the highest growth in hiring are:
- artificial intelligence engineering
- Legal assistance
- Production assistance
- Tax consulting
- Psychology
- Digital profiles
- Communication expertise
- Marketing analysis
- Design engineering
- Talent acquisition
As we often recount at Singularity Experts, this data helps put many familiar conversations into context. The professional future is not only technological, nor only "science". Artificial intelligence appears strongly, yes, but it coexists with people, communication, talent, marketing or tax profiles. Companies are looking for young people capable of combining knowledge, interacting with other profiles and adapting to changing environments.
What profiles are growing among those who have completed a master's degree?
In the case of young people who have completed a university master's degree, the occupations with the highest growth in recruitment are: production assistance, sales representation, teaching, tax consultancy, artificial intelligence engineering, law, program coordination, technical security profiles, machine learning engineering and support specialization.
This point often attracts a lot of attention from mothers and fathers. The master's degree does not only lead to ultra-technical or research opportunities. It also strengthens profiles closely linked to the day-to-day work of organizations: sales, coordination, education or support. In many cases, the postgraduate degree enhances practical employability and entry into the labor market, rather than extreme specialization.
What we at Singularity Experts read
These lists do not tell you what your son or daughter should study, nor do they guarantee a specific career future. What they do do is provide a useful snapshot of what is happening right now in the job market for young graduates.
At Singularity Experts we work with precisely this approach: helping families make decisions with real information, without scaremongering and relating information. Looking at market data is important, but it is also important to cross them with interests, skills, motivations and way of being. Choosing only by "outlets" usually ends badly; ignoring them completely, too.
That's why our vocational orientation programs, such as Passport to the Future, combine objective market data with advanced self-knowledge tools, so that each young person can build his or her own meaningful path.
Knowing which professions are growing is only the first step. What's really important is to understand which ones fit your son or daughter and why. If you want to accompany that decision with data, judgment and expert guidance, you can learn about our advanced guidance solutions. Deciding right today makes a big difference tomorrow.
