## Resource

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. About the Author - Greg Twemlow writes and teaches at the intersection of technology, education, and human judgment. He works with educators and businesses to make AI explainable and assessable in classrooms and boardrooms — to ensure AI users show their process and own their decisions. His cognition protocol, the Context & Critique Rule™, is built on a three-step process: Evidence → Cognition → Discernment — a bridge from what’s scattered to what’s chosen.
