The future of work is evolving rapidly. By 2025, recruiters will seek professionals who can lead with agility, think analytically, communicate effectively, and work seamlessly with technology.
The era of traditional qualifications alone is fading; now, it’s about skills that align with real-world demands.
At the School of International Business & Sciences (SIBS), students are prepared not just with degrees like BBA, BCA, and BBA in Hospitality Management (BBAHM), but with industry-relevant skills and certifications that make them job-ready from day one.
So, what skills are recruiters truly looking for in 2025? And how does SIBS ensure you’re ahead of the curve?
- Communication Excellence – Beyond Just Speaking Clearly
Clear, confident communication is still one of the top skills employers want. Whether it’s presenting an idea, negotiating with clients, or leading a team, how you speak matters as much as what you say.
At SIBS, the Cambridge Certification in Communication Skills ensures students develop polished speaking, writing, and public interaction skills. Through mock interviews, group discussions, and resume workshops under our 100+ Hours Advanced Employability Program, students practice real-life communication scenarios that give them an edge during interviews and corporate meetings.
2. Data-Driven Decision Making – Analytics as a Must-Have
Companies in 2025 will rely more on data insights than gut feelings. As such, knowledge in business analytics is becoming essential.
SIBS integrates Certification in Business Analytics into its curriculum, teaching students’ statistical analysis, data visualization, and predictive modelling. With tools like Power BI and Excel, students learn how to interpret trends and recommend strategic actions. This is complemented by our skill enhancement sessions and expert-led workshops, making theory meet practice.
3. Tech Literacy – More Than Just Knowing How to Use a computer
Today’s managers must understand the backbone of the tech systems they work with. While not everyone will be a programmer, knowing the basics helps bridge the gap between business and IT teams.
Our Certification in Programming Skills introduces students to languages like SQL, Java, and more. This not only enhances their technical confidence but also prepares them to automate workflows and analyse data. Combined with our research-oriented projects and guest sessions from IT industry professionals, students gain first-hand exposure to how tech drives business.
4. Digital Marketing Mastery – Standing Out in the Online World
Marketing in 2025 is digital-first. From social media to email automation, recruiters expect new hires to understand how digital campaigns work and how to measure their success.
SIBS offers a Digital Marketing Certification that covers SEO, PPC, content strategy, and digital analytics. Our learners also attend industry expert talks, workshops on branding and online engagement, and practical case studies that simulate live campaigns. This helps students become digital-savvy professionals, ready for today’s online business world.
5. Proficiency in Advanced Excel – The Power Tool for Every Manager
Despite newer tools emerging, Microsoft Excel remains a cornerstone in business operations. Whether it’s data analysis, financial modelling, or reporting, Excel proficiency is a non-negotiable skill.
Our Advanced Excel Certification ensures students master functions, pivot tables, dashboards, and macros. Through our corporate training sessions, learners also apply these skills to real-world business problems, preparing them for data-driven roles.
6. Entrepreneurial Thinking – Leading Innovation from Day One
Recruiters admire candidates who think like entrepreneurs – problem solvers, leaders, and risk-takers. In a fast-changing market, being innovative is more valuable than ever.
Our Entrepreneurship Skills Certification gives students insights into business modelling, market research, startup funding, and leadership. Combined with career guidance, mentorship from top institution faculty, and project-based learning, SIBS nurtures the entrepreneurial spirit in every student.
7. Specialized Industry Skills – Gaining Domain Expertise
Apart from core management skills, recruiters also look for domain-specific knowledge. For instance, logistics and HR are critical fields that require deep expertise.
SIBS offers certifications in Global Logistics and HR Analytics, training students on supply chain dynamics, human resource planning, and strategic operations. These certifications are supported by hands-on workshops, simulation exercises, and guest faculty from industry, ensuring a balance between theoretical learning and application.
