"With AI transforming so many jobs, EY's Joe Depa says adaptability will be the "new job security" in 2026. "The ability to adapt and change is going to be the most important component," said Depa, who oversees innovation at the Big Four consulting firm. The executive, who leads EY's AI, data, and innovation strategies, told Business Insider that training and upskilling will be the factors that differentiate talent and organizations in the workforce."
"Depa said he went back to school to get his Master's in Analytics from Georgia Tech just a few years ago to learn more about software development, programming, and data science. He said he knew he would be managing data scientists and programmers, and wanted to better understand their perspective. However, since earning his degree in 2020, software development has "completely changed.""
Adaptability will become the new job security as AI transforms many roles by 2026. Training and upskilling will determine which talent and organizations succeed in the evolving workforce. Ongoing learning through formal education or independent study is essential to stay current on technologies like software development and data science. Returning to graduate study can deepen technical understanding, but rapid technological change can outpace degree content. Regular habits such as listening to podcasts and reading articles help maintain awareness. Seeking mentors and actively applying new skills in practical contexts further reinforce adaptability and career resilience.
