AI is changing the workplace faster than ever. The question is no longer simply “Will AI replace jobs?” — it is:

Where does my career stand now?
Where are the real opportunities?
What should I do next?

Your Career in the Age of AI is an in-person career meetup in Melbourne designed for Chinese-speaking students, graduates, career changers and early-career professionals who want to make smarter career decisions in the AI era.

Hosted by JR Academy in collaboration with Bupa, ANZ and Fantuan Delivery, this event will bring together industry guests from technology, product, data, business and community sectors to discuss how AI is changing career pathways, hiring expectations and future workplace skills.

This is not just another AI trend talk.
It is a practical career planning session to help you understand your risks, identify new opportunities, and walk away with a clearer direction.

During this 2-hour meetup, you will have the opportunity to:

Assess your career risk in the AI era
Complete an on-site AI Career Risk Card assessment and understand whether your current background or target role is in a high-risk, transformable or opportunity-expansion zone.

Understand real AI-related career opportunities
Explore emerging roles such as RAG Engineer, AI Product Manager, AI Agent Developer and other AI-driven positions that are increasingly appearing across banks, technology companies and large enterprises.

Hear from industry guests
Our speakers and panel guests will share practical insights on what companies are looking for in the AI era, how hiring expectations are changing, and what capabilities matter most for students and early-career professionals.

Join a practical career discussion
Instead of long individual presentations, the event will include panel-style discussion around real questions, such as:

Should graduates focus on fundamentals first or start learning AI now?
Can non-technical backgrounds still enter AI-related roles?
Do companies want people who can use AI tools, or people who can solve real problems with AI?

Walk away with an AI Career Action Pack
You will leave with clearer career direction, a 90-day action plan, resume and LinkedIn improvement ideas, and practical next steps for your own career path.

The event will feature guests from different industries and career backgrounds, including technology, AI, product, business, digital transformation, community partnership and entrepreneurship.
