As AI continues to disrupt the job market, university graduates are facing unprecedented challenges in securing employment. Reports indicate that vacancies for entry-level positions have plummeted by 32% since the launch of ChatGPT, while Indeed notes a 33% drop in graduate roles over the past year. Concerns are echoed by Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, who warns that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level jobs in the next five years. Gary O’Sullivan from Sia emphasises the disconnect between graduates’ education and employers’ expectations, stating that only 36% of undergraduates receive support in developing essential AI skills. Despite these challenges, some experts believe that graduates can leverage their familiarity with AI tools to enhance their job prospects. “Companies that empower graduates to use AI responsibly and creatively won’t just attract top talent,” says Demis Bril from Instant Offices.
