National Careers Week: The F4S Student Challenge 🚀

The world of work is changing rapidly with advances in technology, science, and society. Many jobs that exist today didn’t exist 5 years ago—think about roles like Social Media Manager, AI Ethics Consultant, or Drone Operator. In this challenge, you will step into the future and create a brand-new job that could exist in 10-20 years!

Your Task:

Your challenge is to research emerging trends and invent a new job role that doesn’t exist yet but could be needed in the future. You will then create a short video or written pitch explaining your idea.

Challenge Guidelines:

1. Research Future Trends
   • Explore industries like technology, healthcare, sustainability, space exploration, artificial intelligence, or entertainment.
   • Consider global challenges such as climate change, automation, ageing populations, or new scientific discoveries.
   • Think about what jobs might be needed in response to these changes.
     
2. Create Your Future Job Profile – Your profile should include:
   • Job Title – Be creative!
   • Industry – Where would this job exist?
   • Job Description – What does this job involve? What tasks would someone in this role do daily?
   • Skills & Qualifications – What skills and knowledge would someone need? Would they need a degree or special training?
   • Why This Job Matters – Explain how this job will help society, businesses, or individuals in the future.
     
3. Present Your Idea – Choose one of the following formats for your submission:
   • Video Pitch (1-2 minutes) – Record yourself explaining your job idea. You can include visuals, props, or slides.
   • Written Pitch (200-300 words) – Write a compelling description of your job, including all key points.

Judging Criteria:

Your submission will be evaluated on:
✅ Creativity – How original and imaginative is your idea?
✅ Relevance – How well does your job connect to future trends?
✅ Clarity – How well do you explain your job role and why it’s important?
