Program Content

Students look at how jobs have changed across the past, present and future, and come to see that jobs don't simply disappear; they 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.

Understanding How Jobs Change

• Examining examples of jobs transformed by technological progress
• Learning why new jobs come into being

Hands-on Practice with the Three Principles of Job Creation

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

Developing New Jobs with Generative AI

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

Deliverables
