AI might help businesses do more with fewer people. But are we measuring efficiency today at the expense of the talent we'll need tomorrow? Automation should improve how work gets done. It shouldn't end the conversation about how people learn to do it. #AI #tech #SkillsDev

AI can write code, analyse data and automate tasks that junior employees once learned by doing. So if AI takes over the entry-level work, where do entry-level employees go to gain experience? We can't demand experienced workers while removing the opportunities that develop them.

Experience shows what someone has done. Potential shows what they can learn. Employers ask us why they should hire young people over experienced candidates. What’s your thoughts? 👇 #YouthEmployment #sayouth #skillsdevelopmentsa #talentshaper

Your career doesn't have to follow one prescribed route. A degree can open doors, So can technical skills, certifications, practical experience and a portfolio, The goal isn't to collect credentials. Visit our website to learn more shaper.co.za
