What Will Future Work Look Like For You?

In the future, could you be a robot ethicist? An off-world habitat designer? A personal brand manager? A biofilm plumber? A smart dust wrangler?

Everyone has characteristics that make them unique. Different people have different combinations of interests, aptitudes, and skills. This job explorer tool (below) has been designed to identify some of your career interests and aptitudes.

It is not a fully detailed assessment — while you may have stronger interests in some areas than in others, you may also find that you can relate to more than one. On the basis of your answers, the job explorer will recommend some of the ‘100 Jobs of the Future’ that may be a fit for you.

Fact Sheets to Assist with Career Planning

The next booklet will walk you through the things you can do to assist your teenager with career planning and making career choices.
