Program Content

Students look at how jobs have changed from the past to the present and into the future, and come to understand that jobs do not simply disappear but evolve and expand.

They then apply the three principles of job creation — discovery, specialization and convergence — to generate new job ideas, and use generative AI to define why each new job is needed and what it does.
