Executive Summary<\/strong>

Introduction<\/strong>
\nTomorrow\u2019s university graduates will be taking a journey into the professional unknown guided by a single, mind-blowing statistic: 65% of today\u2019s students will be doing jobs that don\u2019t even exist yet.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Technological change, economic turbulence and societal transformation are disrupting old career certainties and it is <\/span>increasingly difficult to judge which degrees and qualifications will be a passport to a well-paid and fulfilling job in the decades <\/span>ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

A new wave of automation, with the advent of true artificial intelligence, robots and driverless cars, threatens the future of traditional jobs, from truck drivers to lawyers and bankers.<\/p>\n

But, by 2025, this same technological revolution will open up inspiring and exciting new career opportunities in sectors that are <\/span>only in their infancy today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trick for graduates is to start to develop the necessary skills today in order to ensure they future proof their careers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This report by future consultants The Future Laboratory attempts to show them how to do just that in a research collaboration with Microsoft, whose Surface technology deploys the precision and versatility of pen and touch to power creative industries ranging from graphic design and photography to architecture and engineering.<\/p>\n

In this study, we use extensive desk research and in-depth interviews with technologists, academics, industry commentators and analysts to unveil 10 new creative job categories that will be recruiting tomorrow\u2019s university students.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These future jobs demonstrate a whole new world of potential applications for the technology of today, as we design astonishing virtual habitats and cure deadly diseases from the comfort of our own sofas. It is a world that will need a new approach to training and career planning.<\/p>\n

Welcome to tomorrow\u2019s jobs…<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
