The skill that moves with you
Whatever job you land in, giving AI a task clearly, checking what it hands back and knowing when not to use it goes with you. Learn it in plain language, prove it by explaining it back in your own words, and keep a record an employer can check.
Start free: lesson 1Questions career changers ask
- What job can I switch to if AI is changing mine?
- Start from the jobs closest to yours, because that is where your skills carry over. O*NET, the US Department of Labor's occupational database, lists the occupations most closely related to each job from what people in them do, what they know and what they are called. Pick your job here to see those moves, each with what carries over and what to build.
- How do I know which of my skills transfer?
- O*NET rates every job on the same skills and the same scales. Each move here compares the two jobs skill by skill: the ones the new job rates important where you already work at its level, and the ones where it needs you at least half a level higher.
- Should I move to a job that is safer from AI?
- No published measure ranks jobs by safety, so we do not pretend one does. Each move shows the government's jobs outlook for both jobs and how much of each AI can assist, side by side. Whatever you choose, the person who can direct AI and check its work is the one a team keeps.
- I lost my job. Where do I start?
- Look up the job you had, open the moves closest to it, and start the free first lesson on working with AI. Your state workforce board and the Department of Labor's CareerOneStop also offer free job search and training help.

How we choose the moves
A move is listed when O*NET names the second job among the ten occupations it rates most closely related to the first, and both jobs have a page here. We keep O*NET's own order and do not re-rank it. Skills are compared on O*NET's scales: a skill counts when the new job rates it 3 or more for importance (on a scale of 1 to 5), and it is a step up when the new job needs a level at least 0.5 higher (on a scale of 0 to 7).
