The Job Market Has Changed — But Most People Haven’t Been Told
We are living through the biggest workforce shift since the Industrial Revolution — but no one gave us a roadmap.
People are stuck.
Stuck in jobs they’ve outgrown.
Stuck in industries that are shrinking or automating.
Stuck trying to make sense of where the world is going… while still paying bills in a world that’s already changed.
Across the Caribbean, thousands of students are enrolling in degree programs that are outdated before they even graduate. Mid-career professionals are questioning if their experience still matters. And for many, the job title they’ve held for 10, 15, even 20 years has become a core part of their identity — making it feel almost impossible to pivot.
But here’s the reality:
📉 92 million jobs are expected to disappear globally by 2028
(Source: World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2023)
📈 At the same time, 170 million new roles will be created — many in industries that didn’t exist just a few years ago.
And these aren’t just “tech bro” jobs.
They include:
- AI trainers, prompt engineers, and machine learning ops
- Cybersecurity analysts, sustainability consultants, digital product managers
- UX designers, content strategists, and virtual customer experience leads
- Clean energy project coordinators, remote education specialists, and more
The skills needed to fill these roles are rapidly evolving. In fact, 44% of all workers’ core skills will change by 2028
(Source: World Economic Forum, 2023)
And yet, in most Caribbean nations, we’re still treating education and workforce development like it’s 2005.
🧠 Degrees ≠ Relevance Anymore
Employers around the world are shifting to skills-first hiring.
What matters now is: What can you do? — not what’s written on your degree.
According to the Coursera Job Skills Report 2025, the most valuable workers in the next decade will be those who possess:
- Analytical & creative thinking
- Digital fluency across tools & platforms
- Agility to work in remote-first, AI-powered environments
- Self-direction and resilience during transitions
These “power skills” — once labeled soft skills — are now considered critical assets across every industry.
Meanwhile, traditional degrees in fields like general business administration, office administration, hospitality management, basic accounting, and HR are all becoming risk zones for automation or redundancy (WEF 2023 + Coursera 2025).
🎯 So What Do We Do?
We stop guessing.
We stop following old playbooks.
And we start designing careers with the future in mind — not the past.
Whether you’re:
- A student choosing your first degree
- A mid-career professional unsure what to pivot into
- Or a parent trying to guide your child toward real opportunity…
This workshop will help.

✅ Understand what each of those paths requires — in time, money, and learning style
✅ Build your personalized upskilling roadmap to make a confident pivot into the future of work
This isn’t theory.
This is action.
Let’s chart your next move — together.

Download the report here —> Future of Jobs Report
Download the Coursera report here —> Coursera Job Skills Report
Second Step: Provide Your Info For The Prompt
You Need: Free Version of Chat GPT or Use Google Gemini or Deep Seek
(Please Note: If you use the free version of Chat GPT…you will max out the amount of prompts you can use, and you will have to wait 5 hours for the timer to refresh.)
Prompt (Copy & Paste…Tweak it so its yours):
I want you to analyze the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report and the Coursera Jobs Skills Report 2025 to identify the most in-demand, emerging careers over the next 5–10 years.
Here’s my situation:
Jobs are disappearing fast due to AI, automation, and rapid tech advancement. I want to make sure I pivot into a field that’s actually growing — and not waste time, money, or energy on a path that’s becoming obsolete.
I want this to be a guided process. Please interview me and ask me 30 questions, one by one, to get to know me deeply.
These questions should help you learn about:
- My interests and passions
- My lifestyle and goals (ex: flexibility, remote work, travel, kids, age of kids, married)
- Ask about my stage of life (Am I in school currently, Full Time Job, looking for career pivot, unemployed, etc)
- My current skillset, strengths, and weaknesses
- What I enjoy doing (even outside of work)
- My educational background and financial flexibility (ex: short courses vs full degrees)
Ask each question one at a time.
Wait for my response before continuing to the next one.
Once all 30 questions are completed, I want you to do the following:
- Recommend 5 future-ready job titles that would best suit me based on my responses and the reports.
- Rank the 5 jobs from #1 to #5, starting with the most ideal fit.
- For each job, give me:
- A short summary of what the job is
- Why this role is growing in demand
- Why it’s a good match for me based on my answers
- Give me one bonus tip on how I can begin preparing for the top-ranked role (e.g. suggested course, platform, or micro-skill to start learning now)
My goal is to walk away with clarity on what role fits me best, and a practical way to move forward confidently.
Important:
If I say I prefer short certifications, recommend career paths that match that.
If I say I’m open to a full degree or hybrid learning, adjust accordingly.
Make this guidance fit me.
*This is the end of Prompt 1*
Step 3: Creating a Learning Path From One of the Careers Provided
Prompt (Copy and Paste):
Now that you’ve recommended 5 future-ready job titles for me, I want to make sure I choose the one that’s actually realistic based on my time, money, learning style, and life situation.
Please ask me 10 questions, one by one, to understand my current resources and constraints before building a customized education/learning roadmap.
Your job is to help me create a plan that’s:
✅ Affordable based on my budget
✅ Fits within my lifestyle and weekly time availability
✅ Aligns with how I prefer to learn (self-paced vs guided)
✅ Gives me practical ways to build experience in the field
✅ And makes the transition feel doable — not overwhelming
Ask me these 10 questions one at a time:
- What is your total budget (if any) to invest in upskilling over the next 12 months?
- How much time per week can you realistically dedicate to learning or training?
- Are you more comfortable with self-paced learning, or do you need structure and accountability (ex: live classes, instructors, deadlines)?
- Do you currently have access to a laptop, stable internet, and quiet space to study or work online?
- Are you open to free or low-cost resources (ex: YouTube, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning), or do you prefer formal university or bootcamp-style programs?
- Would you be open to volunteering, internships, or freelance projects to build experience if you can’t find paid work right away?
- Do you have any personal responsibilities (ex: parenting, caregiving, full-time job) that might limit your availability or flexibility?
- Are you open to remote jobs only, or would you also consider hybrid/in-person roles if they’re within reach?
- Do you need your learning plan to be short-term (under 6 months), mid-term (6–18 months), or are you open to a longer journey (2+ years) if it leads to the right career?
- Have you already started learning anything in the past that might transfer into one of the 5 roles you were matched with?
Once you’ve asked and I’ve answered all 10 questions, please:
- Review the 5 job options you gave me earlier
- Based on my answers, tell me which 1 or 2 jobs are the most feasible for me to pursue now
- Create a realistic learning roadmap for the best job, including:
- Free and paid course options
- Certification or training requirements
- How to build a portfolio or hands-on experience
- Recommended time frame
- Suggested next steps (what I should do this week)
Goal:
I don’t just want to dream about a new career — I want to know exactly how to start based on my real-life situation.
Give me clarity.
Give me a path.
Make it practical and affordable.
*End of Prompt*
This prompt will help you turn your chosen career path into an actionable roadmap, giving you a clear timeline and practical steps to build both knowledge and real-world experience, so you’re not just learning, but actively preparing to enter the field with confidence.
