What This Panel Covers

Ninety minutes on what AI is doing to work, for the people starting careers and the people hiring for them.

01

Which entry-level roles are genuinely changing, which are not, and how quickly the line is moving.

02

The skills that hold their value when the tool does the task — and the ones that stop being differentiators.

03

What employers are screening for now that was not on the list two years ago.

04

Building a portfolio that still demonstrates judgement when everyone has access to the same tools.

05

Where new roles are being created, not only which ones are disappearing.

06

Open floor — the unscripted half is usually the half people remember.
