AI, the Future Workforce and Career Readiness!

The Department of Management and Marketing invites alumni, students, academics, and industry partners to join us for a morning tea forum exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of work.

As AI continues to transform industries, organisations, and business roles, professionals at every stage of their careers are being challenged to adapt, learn new skills, and navigate changing workplace expectations. This interactive panel discussion will explore what these changes mean for today's workforce and how individuals can position themselves for long-term career success.
