AI Employability: Key Essential Skill for the Future Job Market
Please listen to me when I say this is not a trend; it's the future.
Because I need you to understand how important this shift is.
The capability to use AI is becoming more crucial than job experience.
I'm not trying to scare you, create anxiety or hook you in with a bold statement.
I'm shouting about this because we should make sure no one is left behind in this digital transformation.
Is this the first time you've heard me say this?
Hell no.
However, most recent validation of this sentiment is backed up by 31,000 people across 31 countries in the 2024 Work Trend Index Annual Report by Microsoft and LinkedIn.
Key finding...
...AI skills are the key to future employment success.
This shift towards an AI-driven world will be huge, changing the very fabric of our work lives.
AI skills will soon be the most essential tool in every industry.
Your job won't be replaced by AI, but you will be replaced by someone who knows how to use it.
That's the reality we're heading towards.
Leaders now see AI as crucial, but many don't have a plan to fully use its potential.
The data shows that moving from testing AI to fully using it in business is the next big step.
As companies use AI to grow and become more efficient, the need for AI skills will skyrocket, changing the job market.
This is why it's so important to develop AI skills at all career stages, ensuring no one is left behind.
By learning AI, we bridge the gap between those who can use these tools and those who can't, avoiding a big disadvantage.
My mission is to help everyone use AI, fostering a more inclusive and innovative workforce.
I've taught AI workshops for everyone from young people fresh out of school to top executives.
From lifelong employees to new business owners.
Learning how to use AI isn't elective, in the same way that learning to read and write is an essential employable skill.
The capability to use generative AI will define the future of work.
