A fun Friday story… From robot engineers and AI trainers to ‘human connection managers’ in a completely digitised AI world, new research has revealed what Brits think the jobs market could look like 80 years from now, as future skills specialists Lennie Higgs and Teresa Wilson can explain tomorrow.

Brits predict robot maintenance engineers (26%) and AI trainers (26%) will be among the most common jobs, alongside tech-enabled doctors and nurses (25%), when asked what we might all be doing by 2106.

But despite all the robots, the future could be surprisingly human as 62% believe human interaction will remain a key workplace skill, while 54% think transferable skills will become more valuable than technical ones.

Brook Street’s recruitment experts predict roles including longevity specialists, human connection managers and care navigators could emerge.

Future skills specialists Lennie Higgs and Teresa Wilson are available to discuss the weird and wonderful jobs of 2106 and which of today’s careers could look decidedly old-fashioned in another 80 years.
