"I didn't know much about future jobs, but I learned about jobs in many different fields. Creating a job myself and using AI in clever ways was a special experience. If I get the chance, I want to learn more about future jobs and create a career that suits me."

"This class taught me about future jobs and new jobs, and it was amazing how many jobs there are. It was so much fun that I'd love to do another career experience program."

Program Content

Students look at how jobs have changed from the past to the present and into the future, learning that jobs don't 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 why each new job is needed and what it involves.

Understanding How Jobs Change

• Exploring changes in the world of work across the past, present and future
• Case studies of how technological progress transforms jobs
• Learning why new jobs emerge

Hands-on Practice with the Three Principles of Job Creation

• Generating new job ideas through discovery, specialization and convergence
• Understanding how existing jobs connect with future technologies
• Developing job creation ideas based on problems in the local community and everyday life

Refining New Jobs with Generative AI

• Using AI to define a new job's title, role and required skills
• Exploring personal or promising career paths through job creation
• Completing a presentation worksheet, including images

Deliverables

• A profile of the new job each student created
• A WHY? HOW? WHAT? career roadmap
• Stronger career imagination and self-expression skills
