A bachelor’s degree in business administration, economics, or accounting could be useful to enter the field. A master’s degree comes in handy when it comes to specializing. Getting certified is another option for those who are interested. The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) are two accounting degrees available in Canada.
Human resources
Human resources is another industry that should perform well in 2025. Randstad attributes this to the high demand for diversity and inclusion management posts, which are predicted to raise pay by 12%. This means that wages for senior staff might rise from $110,000 to $123,200.

The profession recognizes a degree in human resources to break into this field, but degrees in commerce, business administration, arts, and social sciences also work well. You might also consider becoming certified if you want to further your career. In Canada, the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) is the most recognized qualification for HR professionals. Obtaining this accreditation requires a degree, professional experience, and passing an exam.
Automation technicians, among other “specific talents”
Automation professionals often maintain computer-controlled systems and robots. Their job often entails optimizing efficiency, minimizing human interaction, and simplifying some operations. According to the Randstad survey, robotics and automation are transforming manufacturing and skilled crafts, a trend predicted to continue by 2025. The manufacturing and logistics industries automate boring jobs such as sorting and packing. The report identifies skilled crafts, technology, and engineering industries as enjoying “favourable dynamics.” Randstad predicts an average 8% increase in earnings for automation technologists and electromechanics by 2025.
