Artificial Intelligence is changing the job market... but what does that really mean for students and graduates?

In this episode of From Campus to Careers, we’re joined by Tahira Suleman, co-founder of AIQual, to explore how AI is shaping jobs, recruitment, and the skills employers are looking for. Tahira shares her journey from science and problem-solving into AI consultancy, and explains why AI is more likely to transform jobs rather than replace them.

We discuss how employers are already using AI in the recruitment process, how students can use AI tools ethically in job applications, and how to stand out without losing authenticity. Tahira also highlights the technical and human skills students should develop and offers practical advice for anyone feeling anxious about the future of work.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Is AI really going to take our jobs?
  • How AI is changing the job market
  • AI in recruitment and hiring
  • Using AI ethically in job applications
  • Future technical and human skills
  • How students can prepare for an AI-driven workplace
