Additionally, it seeks to identify the skills and qualifications that individuals aiming to become education specialists or managers in the private sector should possess, and to foresee the future of the education sector. A qualitative method was employed in the research. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 individuals working as education specialists or managers in the private sector. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The results of the study indicate that digitalization has led to an increase in the competency levels of educators, their professional development, the emergence of new jobs, and the disappearance of some professions. It was also found that educators who lack digital competencies are at risk of unemployment. It is recommended that educators develop their educational content, methods, and competencies in a way that aligns with digital transformation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCompetenceDigitalizationlabor marketsdigital educationdigital educators and trainersArticle10.18074/ckuiibfd.14512626993677126676114
