"What stood out to me was using AI to identify the skills, majors and jobs my career path calls for, and writing down the things I can do to grow. Reflecting on myself and planning my next steps feels like it will really help my future career."

"I liked finding out what my friends see as my strengths. It was surprising and new that the strengths I see in myself were different from the ones my friends see. I will work to make my strengths stand out even more."

Program Content

Students look at how jobs have changed from the past to the present and into the future, learning that jobs do not simply disappear but evolve and expand. They then apply the three principles of job creation — discovery, specialization and convergence — to come up with new job ideas, and use generative AI to define the need for and role of each new job.
