You're helping your child make education and career decisions in a rapidly changing world. This workshop provides a practical framework to identify future-ready careers using real labour market data rather than outdated assumptions.
AI, automation and new business models are reshaping the workforce faster than most education systems can respond. Some roles will disappear. Others will emerge. And the skills employers value are changing with them.
The World Economic Forum expects 92 million jobs to be displaced globally by 2030.
At the same time, 170 million new roles are expected to emerge across the global economy.
A significant share of workers' core skills will change as technology reshapes how work gets done.
The story isn't simply about jobs disappearing. It's about where opportunity is moving.
Routine and repeatable work is increasingly being automated.
Employers increasingly care about what you can demonstrate, not just what you studied.
New roles are emerging across AI, digital business, cybersecurity and other growth areas.
Staying employable increasingly means updating your skills throughout your career.
Caribbean professionals no longer have to build careers around the opportunities available in one country. Remote work, international companies and digital industries are opening access to global careers, but only for people with the skills those markets demand.
The Biggest Risk Isn't Change.
It's Preparing For A World That No Longer Exists.
This workshop is designed as a guided process. Follow each step in order and you'll move from understanding the future of work to building a practical plan for your next career move.

Start with the full replay. The workshop explains what's changing in the job market and introduces the process you'll use throughout this guide to discover future-ready careers and build a practical learning roadmap.
The replay and this guide work together. Watch the workshop first, then continue through the steps below to download the supporting research, copy the AI prompts and build your personalized career plan.
Before you use the career discovery prompt, download both reports below. These are the research sources the AI will use to help identify emerging careers and the skills employers are prioritising.
Global workforce research covering job creation, job displacement, emerging roles and the skills expected to grow in importance.
Download PDF ↓Research focused on the skills gaining momentum across industries and the capabilities increasingly valuable to employers.
Download PDF ↓The next step asks AI to recommend future-ready careers specifically for you. Uploading these reports gives the AI a stronger research base instead of relying only on general knowledge. You'll combine that workforce data with information about your interests, skills, lifestyle, education and goals to generate more useful career recommendations.
This is where the workshop becomes personal. You'll give AI information about your interests, lifestyle, current skills, education and goals. Using that information alongside the workforce reports you downloaded, it will interview you and identify five future-ready careers worth exploring.
Open ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or DeepSeek and upload both reports from Step Two first. Once the documents have finished uploading, copy the complete prompt below and paste it into the same conversation. The AI will then begin interviewing you one question at a time.
Add the World Economic Forum and Coursera PDFs to your AI conversation.
Use the button above to copy the entire prompt into that same conversation.
Complete the interview one question at a time. Your answers determine the quality of your career matches.
After completing the interview, the AI will rank five future-ready careers based on your answers and the research reports. Each recommendation should explain not only what the role is, but why it fits you and what you can do next.
The examples below show the structure of the output, not actual career recommendations. Your five careers will be generated from your own answers, priorities, experience and learning preferences.
A short explanation of what this role does and the type of work involved.
Why demand for this career is expected to increase.
How your interests, strengths and goals align with the role.

Your five matches give you possibilities. The next step is to test those options against your actual time, budget, learning style and life circumstances so you can identify which path is genuinely realistic for you to pursue.
Your five career matches show you what could be possible. Now we need to determine what's actually realistic. Prompt Two looks at your time, budget, learning preferences and responsibilities, then turns your strongest career option into a practical education and experience plan.
Continue in the same AI conversation you used for Prompt One. Your 30 interview answers and five career recommendations are already there. Prompt Two builds directly on that information, so you do not need to start over.
Copy the entire prompt below and paste it into your existing AI conversation. The AI will ask you 10 additional questions, one at a time. Answer them honestly — especially the questions about money, available time and personal responsibilities. Those constraints are what make the final roadmap useful.
By the end of Prompt Two, you should know which career is most realistic to pursue, what you need to learn, where you can learn it, how to build practical experience and what your next few weeks should look like. The goal is to move from career exploration into execution.
Prompt Two turns your strongest career option into a practical path forward. Instead of giving you a vague list of things to learn, it should show you the sequence — what comes first, what to build next, and when you're ready to start applying.
Identify the one career path that best matches your goals, resources and current situation.
Build the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed for the role.
Complete certifications where they add credibility or are required by employers.
Turn what you've learned into projects that demonstrate your ability to do the work.
Build real-world experience through freelancing, volunteering, internships or personal projects.
Begin pursuing jobs with evidence of your skills, practical experience and a clearer professional direction.
The roadmap should connect learning to action. Each stage should move you closer to being able to demonstrate the skills employers need — not simply add another certificate to your résumé.
Once your roadmap identifies the skills you need, the next step is finding the right place to learn them. These platforms offer professional certificates, technical training, structured courses and practical learning across many of today's fastest-growing career fields.
Your personalized roadmap should determine what you learn and where you learn it. Start with the courses and certifications that directly support your chosen career instead of collecting credentials simply for the sake of having them.
University courses, Professional Certificates and career-focused programs from leading universities and global companies.
Flexible certificate programs designed to develop job-ready skills for a selection of high-growth career fields.
Official Microsoft learning paths covering AI, Azure, cloud computing, data, development and technical certifications.
Free learning resources covering artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data, technology and professional workplace skills.
Official Amazon Web Services training for cloud computing, AI, technical career paths and AWS certification preparation.
Business, technology and creative courses designed around professional skills, tools and career development.
Specialized learning in generative AI, machine learning, AI agents and other rapidly developing artificial intelligence skills.
A broad marketplace of practical courses across technology, business, digital skills, certification preparation and professional development.
A learning platform is simply a tool. Your career roadmap should determine what you need to learn, which credentials actually matter and where you spend your time. Choose the strongest resource for each skill rather than locking yourself into one platform.
Learning gives you knowledge. Experience gives you proof. Before you start applying for jobs, look for ways to actually use the skills you're developing so you can show employers what you're capable of doing.
You do not always need someone to hire you before you can gain experience. Projects, freelance work, volunteering and public work can all help you practise your skills, solve real problems and create evidence that strengthens your portfolio and résumé.
Create your own project around a realistic problem. Build the website, analyse the dataset, create the campaign, design the prototype or develop the solution.
Document your strongest work in one place. Show the problem, your thinking, what you created and the outcome instead of simply listing skills on a résumé.
Take on small paid projects that allow you to apply your developing skills to real client problems while building professional experience.
Look for structured opportunities to work alongside experienced professionals, understand real workflows and gain exposure to the industry.
Offer your skills to a nonprofit, community organisation, small business or project that needs help and can give you a real problem to solve.
Publish what you're learning. Articles, videos, case studies, tutorials and project breakdowns can demonstrate both your knowledge and your ability to communicate it.
For careers where open-source work is relevant, contribute to existing projects or publish your own. This can give employers visible evidence of how you work, collaborate and solve problems.
You don't need to use every method above. Choose the experience-building options that make sense for your career. By the time you begin applying, you want something tangible that helps an employer see your skills instead of simply taking your word for it.
Once you've chosen a career, built the skills and created proof of your ability, the next question is simple: where do you find opportunities? Remote work gives professionals access to companies, industries and roles that may not exist in their home country.
A curated guide to platforms where companies actively recruit remote talent across borders. Use it to expand your search beyond traditional local job sites and start identifying opportunities that match your new skills.
Remote work can separate where you live from where you earn, giving you access to employers and industries outside your immediate geography.
Your career options should not be limited to the size of your local economy. Global hiring can expand the range of roles, companies and markets available to you.
Use the workshop to identify your direction. Use the learning roadmap to build the right skills. Then use the remote job boards guide to start finding companies and opportunities where those skills are actually in demand.
Building the right skills is only part of becoming competitive. You also need a digital presence that clearly communicates what you do, what you know and the value you can bring to an employer, client or opportunity.
Recruiters, employers, potential clients and professional connections can search your name, review your LinkedIn profile and explore the work you've published online. Your digital presence gives you another opportunity to demonstrate your expertise, experience and professional direction before a conversation even begins.
This self-paced course walks you through how to build your digital presence from scratch. It's designed for professionals, creatives and entrepreneurs who want to become easier to discover, communicate their value more clearly and create an online presence that can support new career and business opportunities.
Your résumé tells people where you've been. Your digital presence can help demonstrate where you're going. As you learn new skills and build projects, use your online presence to document that evolution and make your new professional direction easier to understand.
Once you've chosen your direction, built the right skills and started creating proof of your work, your professional positioning needs to evolve too. Your LinkedIn profile, résumé and digital presence should make your next move easier for employers to understand.
Once you know which career direction you're pursuing, Jarrod can help align your LinkedIn profile, résumé and professional brand with that goal so recruiters and employers can quickly understand where you fit.
Improve your positioning, profile structure and discoverability so recruiters can quickly understand your professional value.
Create a clearer recruiter-ready résumé designed to communicate your experience effectively through modern hiring systems.
Clarify what you want to be known for and build a professional identity that supports your new career direction.
Develop a practical approach to networking, visibility and using LinkedIn to create stronger professional opportunities.
Your LinkedIn profile, résumé, portfolio and digital presence should reinforce the same professional story. When those pieces align, employers don't have to guess where you fit or what you're trying to become.
