We assess where you sit, rate your AI exposure, and map the less-risky moves — backed by the Jobs and Skills Australia research, not gut feel.
From Jobs and Skills Australia's 10-year employment projections — cross-checked against the Indeed Hiring Lab's Australian job-postings data. The headline patterns, not a complete list.
Informed by the research and your specific situation. This is what the assessment surfaces — not a TAFE course suggestion, a research-backed picture of where you are and where you could credibly go.
Where you sit right now. What you actually do day-to-day, the skills you have that you might not realise are transferable, your financial runway, your family situation, your location.
Where your specific role lands on the exposure data — augmentation and automation scores, named-occupation matches. What's a realistic time horizon: 12 months, 36, 5+ years?
A handful of credible, less-risky moves from where you are. Each one anchored to growth projections, with the Australian funding routes that apply to your situation flagged. Not a prescription — options.
These aren't prescriptions — they're examples of moves that match the data on both ends. Each starting role and each destination has a specific exposure score or employment projection behind it. The actual one for you depends on what you already know and what you're willing to do.
Programmers are on the modelled decline list (aug 0.77, auto 0.63) — AI absorbs the boilerplate. ICT Managers are projected +25.5% by 2035. Training gap is leadership and architecture, not new technical depth.
Long hours and low retention on one side. Aged and Disabled Carers (aug 0.47, auto 0.21) projected +22.3% by share through 2035 on the other. Service and resilience skills transfer well; Cert III is 6–12 months and usually government-funded.
Retail Trade's employment share is declining (9.2% → 8.6% by 2035) as self-checkout and e-commerce absorb the work. Dental Assistants +26.8%; Nursing Support and Personal Care Workers +24.7%. Cert III, ~6–12 months.
Call centre work scores at the top of automation exposure (aug 0.75, auto 0.75) — chatbots are eating it. De-escalation and listening skills transfer cleanly into welfare support, youth work, family services. Community & Personal Services projected +13.7% by 2035.
Accountants sit in the reshape cluster (aug 0.73, auto 0.54) — AI handles statement prep and basic compliance. Financial Investment Advisers and Managers have similar augmentation but materially lower automation (aug 0.74, auto 0.48). RG146 / FAS Stream pathway, 6–12 months.
General Clerks are on the modelled decline list, but the Clerical & Administrative major group is still growing +9.5% — supervisory roles inside it are absorbing the growth. Pivot is one rung up: Practice Manager (medical, dental, allied health, legal). Cert IV, ~6 months.
These six are illustrative. The assessment surfaces a tailored set for your specific role, location and situation.
