Plan Ahead for Learning, Earning and Working
Will AI Take Your Job?
Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses operate, with many people asking the same question, “Will AI take my job?” While some roles may disappear or change, many new ones will be created and filled by people who know how to work with AI, not compete against it. Whether you’re navigating layoffs already, changing careers or just trying to stay ahead, understanding how to reskill for the AI-driven future is more important than ever.
Skills That Make You AI-Proof
To stay competitive, focus on learning how to use AI, not fear it. Roles like prompt engineer, AI trainer, data analyst and customer experience manager are all examples of new job categories tied to this shift. Even if your current job is at risk, adjacent roles may offer more security if you can reskill.
Here are a Few Ways to Future-Proof Your Career:
- Learn the basics of how AI tools function in your industry.
- Identify roles that will grow as AI evolves.
- Use career coaching to evaluate which upskilling paths match your strengths.
- Earn certificates or micro-credentials on trusted platforms.
- Apply your AI knowledge to solve real problems at work.
Why Career Transition Services Matter More Than Ever
If you’re changing careers at 40, it can feel like the job market is moving too fast. Career transition is less about starting over and more about pivoting with purpose. That’s where career transition services give you an advantage. You don’t have to guess which roles are secure or which courses are worth it.
Through a talent development marketplace like pepelwerk, you can get matched to in-demand jobs based on your skills, not your resume. Personalized learning plans help you upskill smartly, without spending years going back to school.
AI Job Matching Can Help Accelerate Careers
The people most likely to lose their jobs to AI are those who resist learning about it. On the flip side, young adults and career changers who embrace AI tools will find new ways to increase income, improve productivity and land jobs faster.
Whether you are just starting out or making a mid-career switch, pepelwerk gives you the tools to succeed. With membership options like $15/month or $144/year, you can access personalized job matching, learning plans, discounts on coaching and priority placement. Our monthly and preferred members also receive career coaching, assessments and smart automation tools to help manage job goals.
