AI, write a viral LinkedIn article about youth career development.

The following is an excerpt of a conversation I had with ChatGPT last night...

Jared: Write a viral LinkedIn post that start with “We’re on the cusp of a big change in how young people prepare for careers. The information age is”

AI: “We’re on the cusp of a big change in how young people prepare for careers. The information age is making it more important than ever for young people to be able to think critically and adapt to new situations. Gone are the days when a college degree was enough to secure a good job. Now, young people need to be able to learn new skills quickly and be able to apply them in the real world. It’s no longer enough to be a “book smart” person; you need to be a “street smart” person too.

This is why I believe that it’s so important for young people to take control of their own learning and career development. Gone are the days when you could rely on your parents or your school to guide you towards a successful career. Now, it’s up to you to make your own path.

So if you’re a young person reading this, don’t wait for someone else to tell you what to do. Take charge of your own career and start learning the skills that will make you valuable in the job market. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. The future is yours to create. #careerdevelopment #skills #learning”

Jared: That was good. You focused mostly on encouraging young people to build skills. Next try to write one (using the same guidelines I gave above) that focuses more on how the way people access information now (using online search, self-serve digital information, and informational tiktok videos) is very different from how people used to get information in the past, and this change means that young people are going to start preparing for careers in a really different manner from how most traditional career development programs are designed.

AI: “We’re on the cusp of a big change in how young people prepare for careers. The rise of the internet and the proliferation of online information has completely transformed the way that young people access information. Gone are the days when you had to go to the library to do research or rely on a teacher to explain a concept to you. Now, with a few clicks of a button, you can access almost any information you want from the comfort of your own home.

This shift has enormous implications for how young people prepare for careers. Traditional career development programs are often based on the assumption that young people will learn the necessary skills and knowledge through formal education and training. But with the explosion of self-serve digital information, young people now have the ability to learn and develop new skills on their own.

This means that young people need to be proactive and self-motivated in their career development. They need to be constantly learning and adapting to new information and technologies in order to stay ahead of the curve. And they need to be willing to take risks and try new things in order to find their passion and build a fulfilling career.

So if you’re a young person reading this, don’t wait for someone else to tell you what to do. Take control of your own career development and start learning the skills that will make you valuable in the job market. The future is yours to create. #careerdevelopment #skills #learning”

Jared: That was great. I like that one best so far. The only thing I hope you could change is to replace those last two paragraphs. Instead of speaking to young people in those paragraphs, speak to the funders, workforce board staff, school district leaders, and public sector leaders. Call upon them to transform the way they think about engaging with young people to be much more oriented toward the learner-driven online experience that embraces the learner’s central role as the principal in the work.

This shift has enormous implications for how young people prepare for careers, and it’s time for funders, workforce board staff, school district leaders, and public sector leaders to take notice. Traditional career development programs are often based on the assumption that young people will learn the necessary skills and knowledge through formal education and training. But with the explosion of self-serve digital information, young people now have the ability to learn and develop new skills on their own.

This means that we need to rethink the way we engage with young people and support their career development. We need to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach and instead embrace a learner-driven model that puts the young person at the center. This means providing young people with the resources and support they need to take control of their own learning and career development, and helping them to connect with real-world opportunities that will allow them to apply their skills and knowledge in the real world.

It’s time for us to recognize that the future of work is rapidly changing, and that young people need to be prepared for a world that is constantly evolving. Let’s work together to create a new model of career development that is learner-driven, online, and focused on the learner’s central role as the principal in the work. #careerdevelopment #skills #learning”

Jared: Fantastic!

AI: Thank you, I’m glad you like it. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Jared: Nope. Have a good night!

AI: Thank you, you too! Have a great night.
