✨ Activity: AI Career Exploration Activity

Now that you've learned about how AI can support career planning and labour market research, it's time to put that knowledge into practice. In this activity, you'll use AI tools to explore a career field of your choice, investigate emerging trends, and evaluate how helpful and accurate the insights are. This hands-on approach will help you understand the benefits and limitations of using AI in career exploration, and how to use it responsibly as one part of your decision-making process.

1. Choose a Career Field

• Choose a career to explore
  • Examples: Digital marketing, healthcare, cyber security.

2. Use AI for Research

• Prompt a virtual assistant: “What are the top 5 emerging jobs in [industry] in 2025?”
• Search trends with market analysis tools using keywords.

3. Verify AI Insights

• Compare AI results with official sources like Canada Job Bank.

4. Reflect & Evaluate

• Did AI suggest new or helpful ideas?
• Did it miss important trends?
• How did AI insights compare with official data on job titles, growth, or skills?
• How can you use AI responsibly as a tool, not a decision-maker
