The accelerating wave of AI technology is erasing routine tasks faster than new roles appear, leaving many young graduates unsure where they stand. At Kogod, we present a clear, actionable answer—plant yourself at the intersection of three essential capabilities:

01.
AI-Fluency 

First, cultivate AI fluency so every model, tool, and prompt becomes leverage rather than threat.

02.
Uniquely Human Skills 

Second, double‑down on your deeply human skills—judgment, empathy, ethical reasoning—that machines can’t replicate.

03.
Entrepreneurial Mindset 

Third, adopt an entrepreneurial mindset that spots opportunity ahead of formal job descriptions. And this goes well beyond being an entrepreneur and starting up new businesses (although that's so cool, too.) Every organization, even Fortune-500 companies who have been around for more than 200 years, benefits from and seeks adaptability, curiosity, drive, and exceptional communication and influence skills.
