AI is raising the first rung: Who will turn graduates into professionals?
Matched: Artificial Intelligence
AI is absorbing routine entry-level work that traditionally helped graduates develop professional judgement, disrupting the longstanding arrangement between universities, employers and professional bodies. Entry-level roles are becoming "seniorised," demanding leadership and adaptability earlier. The author argues universities must embed judgement-building across curricula, employers must replace the developmental value of routine work deliberately, and government should establish a formal graduate formation model clarifying responsibilities and funding — with equity in access a central concern.
