Stuart Dixon at TeamSense reports the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution is here. To future-proof your career prospects, it may be time to look beyond the cubicle. The outlook is increasingly uncertain for many Office Professionals: Intel has been busy cutting roughly 24,000 jobs this year - about a quarter of its core Workforce. Meanwhile, Amazon recently laid off 14,000 corporate roles as it layers in AI-driven efficiencies. And they’re far from alone: The Brookings Institute found more than 30% of the workforce could see at least half of their job’s tasks disrupted by AI Technology, particularly in highly-paid knowledge work fields. The potential for organizations to do more with less headcount continues to put existing White-Collar jobs at risk. Whether you’re a new grad entering the workforce or someone on the cusp of a career transition, a 9-to-5 role looks a lot less secure than it once did. Instead, consider looking outside of an office setting and choosing a hands-on, shift-based role, building skills that will stay relevant in the age of AI. Shift-based work remains in high demand. Labor research shows that for every five Skilled Tradespeople who retire, only two younger entrants replace them, a talent gap that has persisted for nearly two decades. Some of the most resilient roles today come from manufacturing, logistics and energy, where plant managers, warehouse supervisors, and other functional leaders depend on skilled, shift-based Employees to keep production and logistics running. These careers offer the flexibility to work more or fewer hours based on your outside commitments - and they also often afford you the opportunity to earn lucrative overtime pay at 1.5 to 2 times your normal hourly rate. TeamSense dug into data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, analyst advice, and expert opinion to identify some key, shift-based career paths that will be most resilient to AI disruption…
