Summary
In our AI-mediated world, traditional career plans are no longer sufficient to guide young people toward a stable future. Greg Twemlow argues that because AI is redesigning every profession, students must shift from seeking fixed pathways to building earned orientation through a combination of Direction and Traction Plans. While a direction provides a general sense of where one is heading, a Traction Plan focuses on developing personal agency, human judgment, and visible evidence of one's ability to adapt. This approach prioritises authorship, ensuring that individuals remain the primary decision-makers even when using sophisticated digital tools. Adults must move away from offering hollow reassurance and instead become bridge-builders who facilitate real-world experiences and experiential learning. Ultimately, the goal is to foster confidence-by-evidence, allowing the next generation to navigate an uncertain economy with the skills to remain relevant and capable. Read the article.
