Sure, AI is taking jobs, but it's creating jobs too. And what if I told you many of them are not new at all? AI does not build data centers.
Electricians, fibre technicians, welders, plumbers, and construction professionals do. That means upskilling people already working and reskilling people ready for something new. Meta alone is investing $150 million in America's Workforce Academy, which covers skilled trades training, provides stipends in many cases, and offers participants a conditional job offer before training begins.
AI may be changing the future of work, but some of its biggest opportunities are hiding in the jobs we already know. Join me on Influential Voices in Technology™ and let's uncover them together.
