"The 1% Club" Conference by Hamza Belloumi
One of the conferences, "The 1% Club," was led by media personality Hamza Belloumi. During his presentation, Belloumi emphasized to the audience, composed mainly of young adults, the importance of developing skills outside of higher education and "soft skills."
The Decline of University Education
Regarding university education, Belloumi stated that while it still holds value, the diploma itself is becoming increasingly useless and symbolic. What truly sets apart future candidates in companies are the skills and experiences they demonstrate, rather than their diplomas and formal qualifications.
Top 10 Business Skills in Demand
Belloumi also revealed that according to the "2023 Workplace Learning Trends Report" published by Udemy Business, the top 10 business skills consumed last year are:
- Communication skills
- Project management
- Leadership
- Agility
- Scrum
- Project Management Professional (PMP)
- Business communication

- Management skills
The Global Decline of Higher Education
It's worth noting that the decline of higher education is a global trend. For example, according to Pew Research Center, in 2022, the total number of 18- to 24-year-olds enrolled in university had decreased by approximately 1.2 million compared to its peak in 2011.
