And if our efforts to equip these students with automation-resilient, transferable skills are not successful in these clusters, we risk the possibility of, once again, funneling disadvantaged students into low-wage, low-opportunity occupations.
Students need curriculum that is engaging, accessible, and with differential learning.
-
Consequently, states, districts, schools, and teachers take different approaches to academic integration, and some approaches are more successful than others.
This is the case in everything. Some approaches are more successful than others. But through collaboration and shared information within the schools they may find success.
-
Other CTE career-cluster areas have automation risks that are high: Architecture & Construction, Hospitality & Tourism, Manufacturing, and Transportation, Distribution & Logistics
This was not great to read. I do not think it is possible to automate these CTE careers.
-
First, average automation risks decrease as education level goes up, largely because jobs requiring bachelor’s degrees involve a greater number of transferable skills that are less easy to automate.
This data reinforced the point on how having transferable skills are less easy to automate. Having data to back up ones article is important.
-
Not only will the combination of technical and transferable skills help CTE students compete for the automation-resilient jobs of today (which tend to require bachelor’s degrees), the combination will give them greater agility when automation threats come knocking tomorrow.
Preparing today for tomorrow.
-
To begin, jobs requiring skills that are difficult to automate with available technologies are at lower risk of automation. These skills include things like two-way communication, critical thinking, creativity, planning, management, and problem-solving. These are transferable skills, not technical skills
This is most likely not going to be the case. AI will be able to do planning or problem solving soon if not already.

At a recent social gathering, one of my colleagues demonstrated that—if given a fictional research question—the generative artificial intelligence behind ChatGPT can write nearly flawless computer code for a certain syntax-based statistical package commonly used among policy-researcher types, like myself. It was humbling; I’ve spent years learning to write such code, to middling ability.
It may have taken him years to learn but his learning is a gift that he will always have.
-
I’ve been on ChatGPT a lot lately and—apparently—I’m not the only one. I’m not actually using it (though I intend to); I’m there to gawk over what it can do—and, spoiler, it goes well beyond producing first-year term papers
The fact that he is first testing AI out to see what it can do before actually using it, this is a smart way to go!
-
Is AI going to gut the kinds of jobs that CTE will prepare students for, or is CTE a key to preparing students for an AI-infused future?
AI may do both. Its still too early to tell.
