Youth Career Formation in an AI Economy
How is exposure to AI changing how Christian students, parents, educators, and youth ministries think about career preparation, calling, human value, skill development, education choices, and hope for the future?
Why this matters
The question behind the brief.
Young people are forming expectations about work while AI is changing what skills appear valuable, which careers feel stable, and what kinds of human contribution seem durable. Christian schools, parents, churches, and youth ministries need evidence about how AI affects motivation, vocation, learning, anxiety, discernment, and preparation for adult life.
