Artificial intelligence is already changing how work gets done, what skills matter, and how people begin their careers. Many of these changes are happening while today’s students are still in high school, creating both uncertainty and new opportunities.

This virtual session is designed for teens and parents who want to better understand how AI is shaping the future of work. Through discussion and short live demonstrations, participants will explore the skills that will remain valuable, how AI is being used in real workplaces, and practical ways students can begin preparing now.

The session also introduces AI as a learning and career exploration tool, showing how students can use it to research industries, practice skills, and ask better questions without replacing their own thinking.
