Opening Doors to Future Work World Opportunities

Episode1: Advancing Talent to Build the Future of Housing & Healthcare

It’s about advancing talent to align with the demands that automation will have on all industries, communities and people.  People who will need to adopt AI tools and adapt their tasks and oversight to apply, oversee and steward new processes that control tools. Why now?

The world is transforming fast…really fast.

AI and automation impact will affect industries, communities and how tasks and activities in jobs will continue to change.

So fast that Companies and Course Creators are now asking what and how enable people can enable AI and AI enabled tools to enter and advance in the new workforce economy.

So fast that Candidates are wondering which doors will lead to find the right career, company and courses that align with their skills and interests in this new economy.

The big question?

What do people still need to learn – to augment their skills, to work with AI tools to thrive in the new economy?

The next question?

How will tasks and activities in the jobs at present change in the next few years?

Two things that AI is not adept at doing today … yet:

• • Work in the Physical or Built world – like in the trades which includes construction and manufacturing
  • Work needed Human to Human contact – like in health, wellness and personal care

What careers can people look to explore now? 

Occupations that may be slower to uptake AI, and that may have regulatory and or technical labour requirements?  Look at “The Trades” – including construction, manufacturing, healthcare and personal care.  Even then, these “safer” occupations will still need continuous upskilling and and training to attain know-how, and to learn how to augment their roles using AI tools.  This changes the type of tasks and activities in each occupation.

What about youth, their parents and education pathways?

“Daniela Amodei, co-founder and President of Anthropic (a leading AI Tech Corporation), finished another high-stakes meeting with enterprise clients. Predictably, someone pulled her aside. The question came quietly, almost apologetically — the kind of thing you ask when you’re afraid of the answer.“

“What should my kid actually study?”

“It’s a question that’s become the white noise of modern parenting. AI can write code. AI can draft legal contracts. AI can diagnose diseases. So what the hell is left for humans to do?” source WSJ Feb 2026 https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/what-ai-executives-tell-their-own-kids-about-the-jobs-of-the-future-1ba43f65
