Unlocking career potential: AI for diversity in employment
Job applications often reward the loudest voice, not the best skills. For many, the hardest part isn’t doing the job, it’s describing your value under pressure. This workshop explores how generative AI can help change that. You’ll learn how to use AI tools to unpack position descriptions, sharpen key messages, and practice interviews in your own time. These approaches aren’t just time-savers, they can be game changers for anyone who finds traditional selection processes overwhelming, unfamiliar, or unfairly stacked.
AI can help level the playing field by giving more candidates the tools to reflect their capabilities clearly - especially those who face cultural, linguistic, or confidence-related barriers. Through live demos, shared prompts, and real examples, we’ll look at how AI can support low-stakes preparation, reduce performance anxiety, and build momentum, especially for those whose potential isn’t always visible on paper or in panels. Whether you’re navigating applications yourself or helping others do so, this session will show how AI can become part of a more inclusive toolkit.
