For generations, entry-level work has been how professionals build judgment, develop expertise and learn to recognize problems before they become bigger issues. But as AI takes on more of the research, analysis and administrative tasks traditionally assigned to junior employees, what happens to the experiences that prepare them for more advanced roles?

This session explores how AI is changing entry-level jobs and what those changes mean for talent development, career progression and compensation. Hear different perspectives on which foundational experiences may be disappearing, which new skills are becoming more important and how organizations can prepare early-career employees for roles that increasingly rely on technology.

The discussion will examine how employers can redesign entry-level responsibilities, create meaningful learning opportunities and rethink traditional career pathways without losing the experiences that build professional judgment. You'll leave with questions and practical considerations for evaluating how your organization develops, supports and rewards its next generation of talent.
