Topic 22: The Impact of AI on Jobs and Career Development

AI is changing the types of skills employees may need in the future workplace.

Some repetitive tasks may become increasingly automated, while demand may grow for skills such as:

• critical thinking,
• communication,
• adaptability,
• leadership,
• and digital literacy.

Rather than eliminating all jobs, AI may reshape many roles and create new opportunities that do not currently exist.

Employees who continue learning and adapting may be better prepared for future workplace changes.

For organisations, this highlights the importance of:

• continuous learning,
• upskilling,
• reskilling,
• and supporting career development.

The future workforce will likely need both technical knowledge and strong human-centred skills.
