What if you woke up tomorrow with all your expenses covered for an entire year? No rent. No bills. What would you dream up? What would you build?

Our Dare to Dream challenge answers these questions. We believe in Creators, in Entrepreneurs, in the people who bet on their own ideas and their will to make them real.

That’s why we’re awarding $100,000 to one person who shows up as their authentic self and tells us how their dream can make a real difference in their communities.

We’ve got five runner-up prizes each worth $10,000, too. So get out your phone, hit record, and dream the dream only you can dream up.

Today is your day.

1. Job seekers:

Growth is happening in sectors like:

• IT
• Energy
• Logistics
• Childcare
• Architecture
• Cybersecurity

If corporate doesn’t tickle your fancy, trades like:

• Electricians
• Mechanics
• Painters

Are in high demand right now!

2. Currently employed and not trying to get fired?

Companies are using AI agents for automation:

• Basic client queries
• Compliance checks
• Financial modelling
• Research

These are just a few examples of tasks that are being made obsolete by AI.

Retail companies are even using AI agents to generate personalised customer service.

Tasks that still require human judgement:

• Strategic oversight
• Complex decision making
• Nuanced client interactions

(Sounds like corporate buzzwords to me)

So I guess the main takeaway from all this:

1. Look for j*bs in growth sectors
2. Consider learning a trade
3. Employers can use AI for efficiency,
↳But you can’t use it for j*b applications…(:

And oh yh…

Be more human, so AI doesn’t take your job?

The more you know, I guess (:
