As automation and AI reshape jobs, the World Economic Forum urges workers to learn entirely new skills for different roles, not just polish their old ones.

What word describes training someone for a brand-new type of job?

Reskilling
Reskilling teaches new skills for a different role, while upskilling deepens existing ones. The WEF estimates that a large share of workers will need retraining this decade.

Reskilling means training someone in entirely new skills so they can move into a different type of job altogether, which matters as automation and AI eliminate or transform many existing roles faster than workers can adapt through minor updates alone. The World Economic Forum has pushed this idea because entire job categories are shifting, not just the tools used within them, making a full skills change necessary for many workers to stay employable.

Outsourcing means hiring an outside company or contractor to perform work rather than training existing employees, a business strategy unrelated to individual skill development. Downsizing refers to reducing a workforce's size, the opposite of investing in workers' future capabilities.

Reskilling differs from upskilling, which deepens abilities within someone's current role rather than preparing them for a different one entirely, and organizations increasingly need both approaches at once as technology reshapes the workplace.
