YES!!

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the automating of processes with the help of robots/software to reduce the involvement of humans. As RPA develops, the fear around the impact it will have on humans and their jobs (not surprisingly) seems to be the main point of conversation. But not just this, we are beginning to see that the adoption of RPA is creating new jobs. It’s also becoming apparent that the new jobs created from RPA uptake are more suited to the emotionally intelligent and cognitive skills of the human brain.

RPA is the evolution of existing automation technologies and it is becoming accessible across various industries. Many companies are adopting RPA into their organizations to automate highly manual business practices. A recent Gartner report states that $52.3 million was generated within the Australian RPA market place in 2018. This is an increase of 48% in RPA spend, indicating a significant growth market which should present great opportunity for the right people with the right skillset. RPA training courses seem to have popped up all over the world to satisfy the demand for these skill sets.
