Redesigning early careers in a changing AI landscape

What does entry-level opportunity look like in an AI-shaped world?

This employer-focused webinar will explore how entry-level roles are evolving, and what organisations need to consider to ensure access, preparation and progression keep pace with change. As AI reshapes tasks, workflows and expectations across sectors, it’s time to rethink what “entry level” really means and how recruitment, development and early exposure models must adapt.

Drawing on insights from talent acquisition leaders, early careers teams and future of work specialists, alongside practical experience from global employers, this discussion will examine how AI-driven transformation is already influencing hiring criteria, capability expectations and role design. This is not about reacting to change, but proactively redesigning early career pathways to remain inclusive, forward-looking and effective.

Date: Tuesday 24th March 2026

Time: 11:00am - 12:00pm

Platform: Virtual event on Teams

Why this matters now

AI is no longer a future consideration - it is actively reshaping how work gets done. In many organisations, routine and administrative tasks traditionally assigned to entry-level employees are being automated or augmented. At the same time, expectations around digital fluency, problem solving and adaptability are rising.

For talent acquisition, early careers and future of work teams, the question is not whether change is coming - it is how entry-level expectations are shifting, and what that means for recruitment, development, preparation, social mobility and equitable access.

If role requirements evolve but access routes do not, there is a risk that opportunity narrows just as demand for new capabilities increases. This session will ask: how do we ensure capability development evolves alongside access so entry-level pathways remain both rigorous and inclusive?
