One in six hiring managers hesitate to bring on recent grads due to a lack of workplace skills like **teamwork and communication**. Yet nine in ten educators say their grads are ready to enter the workforce. Employers can't afford to wait for this gap to close on its own. As **retirements accelerate** and **artificial intelligence automates some entry-level work**, they'll have to take the lead—by partnering directly with colleges and universities to give students **real-world experience before they graduate**. The pandemic widened the disconnect between employers and young workers. Years of remote learning deprived students of formative experiences like lab work and campus leadership. Many graduates now have strong academic foundations but less practice navigating unspoken professional norms. On top of that, many **entry-level roles** that once taught young professionals the basics—data analysis, coding, and report-writing among them—are disappearing as companies turn to AI. That may boost productivity today, but it prevents firms from developing the next generation of talent to lead them in the future. Universities and employers have grown apart, too. Curricula struggle to keep pace with rapidly evolving fields like **AI or cybersecurity**. Many faculty still measure preparedness for the workforce by mastery of course material. Employers, by contrast, may prize the ability to work as part of a team and to solve problems under pressure over the ability to recall facts quickly—especially given the rise of AI. Meanwhile, with **hybrid work** the norm at many firms, new hires may have fewer opportunities for the informal learning and mentorship that can accelerate their competence and professional growth. The result? Graduates entering an economy that prizes skills they haven't had a chance to practice—and employers facing **talent shortages they can't fill**. One of the most effective ways to close that gap is through closer collaboration between universities and industry. When students work directly with industry mentors—in a lab, on a factory floor, or in a startup—they learn the teamwork and communication skills that few professors can teach, no matter how collaborative or group-oriented the class. An engineer troubleshooting a real production issue can learn more about working in the 'real world' in a week than in a semester of lectures. For their part, employers get to identify and invest in talent early, developing pipelines for graduates who already understand workplace expectations. These partnerships ensure a steady flow of **job-ready professionals** in high-demand fields like engineering and healthcare technology, where demand for talent far outpaces supply. Universities and employers are demonstrating how effective this model can be. Purdue and Eli Lilly are training biomanufacturing talent through a $250 million partnership in AI and robotics. Google's AI lab at Carnegie Mellon gives students real-world experience before they graduate. Siemens' new Center of Excellence at Georgia Tech immerses engineering students in digital twin and simulation projects. At Abbott, we're investing in similar partnerships—linking classrooms to cutting-edge healthcare technology and helping launch careers in science and engineering. Through the HBCU Cybersecurity Industry Collaboration Initiative, we've joined with Microsoft and Raytheon Technologies to strengthen cybersecurity curricula at engineering schools at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Initiatives like these can restore what technology has eroded. By building bridges between classrooms and workplaces, they offer students the chance to build hard and soft skills. An engineering student designing a prototype for a company gains not only technical fluency, but also the kinds of judgment and teamwork skills that textbooks can't teach. At the same time, companies can observe how students solve problems and collaborate—insights that inform hiring and training. Technology is reshaping every industry. But no algorithm can substitute for sound judgment, teamwork, or the ability to communicate clearly. Those skills are the sole product of human experience. If companies want ready talent tomorrow, they need to help build it today.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>careergrowth</category> <category>skillsgap</category> <category>ai</category> <category>highereducation</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <enclosure url="https://fortune.com/img-assets/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/moreland-mary.jpg?resize=1200,600" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Secure Your Future: Top AI-Resistant Jobs with Six-Figure Salaries in 2026]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/secure-your-future-top-ai-resistant-jobs-with-six-figure-salaries-in-2026</link> <guid>secure-your-future-top-ai-resistant-jobs-with-six-figure-salaries-in-2026</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 17 Jan 2026 13:15:17 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the workforce, a new report reveals a silver lining: **high-demand jobs that remain people-dependent** are thriving, offering both security and lucrative pay. Indeed's ranking of the 50 Best Jobs in the U.S. for 2026 highlights roles where human skills like empathy, care, and hands-on expertise are irreplaceable, with all top 10 positions boasting **median annual salaries over $100,000**. ## A Boom in Health Care Jobs Healthcare dominates the list, with seven of the top 10 spots, driven by an aging population and increasing demand for both essential and elective procedures. **Cardiac medical technician** claims the No. 1 position, with a median salary of $133,907 and robust job growth. Other top roles include: - Nurse practitioner - Speech language pathologist - Licensed professional counselor - Licensed clinical social worker - Physical therapist - Occupational therapist - Radiation therapist Laura Ullrich, North America research director for Indeed Hiring Lab, notes that healthcare represents nearly three-quarters of broader job-market growth, despite accounting for only 11% of all jobs. This trend is expected to accelerate as more Americans live to 100 and older, ensuring long-term job security in these fields. ## High Demand for the Trades Skilled trades are emerging as practical, cost-efficient paths with sustained demand, especially as workers question traditional higher education and AI disruption. **Owner-operator truck driver** ranks No. 2, with a median salary of $160,000 and a 39% surge in job openings over three years. Other in-demand trades include HVAC technicians and electrical foremen, highlighting opportunities in hands-on, technical roles. ### Top 10 Jobs for 2026 | Rank | Job Title | Wage Growth (3-year) | Growth in Job Postings (3-year) | Median Annual Salary | |------|-----------|----------------------|---------------------------------|----------------------| | 1 | Cardiac medical tech | 34% | 34% | $133,907 | | 2 | Owner-operator truck driver | -5% | 39% | $160,000 | | 3 | Nurse practitioner | 10% | -2% | $143,183 | | 4 | Speech language pathologist | 14% | 11% | $109,431 | | 5 | Licensed professional counselor | 33% | -17% | $107,812 | | 6 | Licensed clinical social worker | 20% | -32% | $119,618 | | 7 | Physical therapist | 8% | 0% | $110,848 | | 8 | Occupational therapist | 6% | 13% | $105,580 | | 9 | Radiation therapist | 26% | 8% | $115,923 | | 10 | Data scientist | -3% | 15% | $115,079 | ## Tech Jobs Keep Growing While data scientist is the only tech role in the top 10, the sector remains strong with positions supporting AI, cloud infrastructure, and security solutions. Roles like solution architect, software architect, and security engineer indicate ongoing hiring momentum. Ullrich explains that despite a decline in job postings, employment in computer and mathematical occupations is nearly 20% higher than pre-pandemic levels, suggesting a structural rebalancing rather than a collapse. The U.S. labor market continues to reward skills that are harder for AI to replace, such as empathy and hands-on expertise. As automation impacts white-collar jobs, these practical careers offer both opportunity and stability, often without requiring advanced degrees.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>career</category> <category>healthcare</category> <category>trades</category> <category>tech</category> <enclosure url="https://www.investopedia.com/thmb/ZruQ8K9ZH1ZyviRRHy3Hsv_fYRQ=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/GettyImages-461458511-0576a7deb8d042c1b20c73e2959621ba.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI and Robotics: Transforming Jobs or Threatening Mass Unemployment?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-and-robotics-transforming-jobs-or-threatening-mass-unemployment</link> <guid>ai-and-robotics-transforming-jobs-or-threatening-mass-unemployment</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 16 Jan 2026 13:15:15 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *The government is investing £52m for new hubs to drive robotics adoption in British businesses. Photograph: Martin Godwin/The Guardian* ### Government Initiatives and Investment The government announced on Friday that the **Regulatory Innovation Office (RIO)** is expanding its remit to defense tech and robotics, with the aim of slashing red tape for companies operating in those spaces. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is also releasing **£52m for new hubs** to drive robotics adoption in British businesses. These hubs will offer companies advice on using robots and live demonstrations. "The RIO will aim to streamline overlapping requirements to bring products to market safely, but more quickly, to improve lives and grow our economy," it said. The department added that **autonomous drones** could benefit from the wider RIO remit. Such technology could require separate approvals for aviation, data protection, and sector-specific safety rules, in an expensive process that could take months. Vallance was speaking during a visit to Humanoid, a UK-based robotics company that has already deployed its prototypes in a factory operated by German industrial group Siemens. Adam Kelsall, Humanoid’s head of product management, said the company welcomed "anything that gets us into the real world and testing [robots] sooner".]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>robotics</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>automation</category> <category>techpolicy</category> <enclosure url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/a7700fcd48ab8eba8a7a80e60aaf709f67037c17/465_0_5800_4640/master/5800.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&precrop=40:21,offset-x50,offset-y0&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctZGVmYXVsdC5wbmc&enable=upscale&s=964be4d94a54cee2848d6d0fb989f06e" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Elite Degrees No Longer a Golden Ticket: How AI and Skills-Based Hiring Are Revolutionizing Tech Careers]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/elite-degrees-no-longer-a-golden-ticket-how-ai-and-skills-based-hiring-are-revolutionizing-tech-careers</link> <guid>elite-degrees-no-longer-a-golden-ticket-how-ai-and-skills-based-hiring-are-revolutionizing-tech-careers</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 14 Jan 2026 13:15:27 GMT</pubDate> <description><]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>hiring</category> <category>skills</category> <category>education</category> <category>tech</category> <enclosure url="https://images.storyboard18.com/storyboard18/2026/01/RESIZE-2-PB-2026-01-07T171756.954-2026-01-4cd3dcda62c78406b862d2943259d0e5-1019x573.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Tech Exodus: Why Major Companies Are Shifting Jobs to India Amid US Layoffs and Visa Crackdowns]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/tech-exodus-why-major-companies-are-shifting-jobs-to-india-amid-us-layoffs-and-visa-crackdowns</link> <guid>tech-exodus-why-major-companies-are-shifting-jobs-to-india-amid-us-layoffs-and-visa-crackdowns</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 14 Jan 2026 20:15:21 GMT</pubDate> <description>< ### Breaking Down the Numbers - **34% of respondents** expect a significant increase in India hiring - **18% anticipate a moderate rise** in Indian workforce expansion - **93% of employees at global firms** including eBay, Wayfair, LinkedIn, Qualcomm, Capital One, Google, Amazon, Salesforce, SAP and Microsoft reported plans to expand hiring in India ### Impact on US-Based Roles When asked how India hiring affects US-based positions, the responses revealed a concerning trend: - **38% said it is replacing US-based roles** - **23% said it complements US hiring** - Only **4% of respondents** indicated the restrictions led to increased US-based hiring ### Visa Regulations Driving the Shift The report highlighted that **28% of respondents cited recent H-1B visa restrictions** as a factor pushing companies to hire more in India. This represents a significant driver in the relocation of tech jobs, while 25% said the changes had no material impact. ### How Companies Are Expanding in India Companies are taking various approaches to build their Indian presence: - **25% are scaling up existing India teams** - **20% reported the creation of new roles** in India - **Another 20% said specific projects or functions** are being moved there ### A Structural Shift in Global Workforce Planning "The findings point to India's growing role as a functional alternative to the US hiring market," the report stated. "Rather than relying on US-based expansion, many companies appear to be redirecting growth to India, signaling a structural shift in global workforce planning." This trend represents more than just temporary cost-cutting measures. The acceleration of offshoring by major global tech firms including **Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Uber and eBay** suggests a fundamental rethinking of how technology companies structure their global operations and talent acquisition strategies.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>offshoring</category> <category>h1bvisa</category> <category>india</category> <category>workforce</category> <enclosure url="https://indiawest.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/More-Tech-Jobs-Moving-To-India-Amid-US-Layoffs-Visa-Regulations.webp" length="0" type="image/webp"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Houston Soars to Top 10 Tech Hub in North America: How Texas Cities Are Dominating the Tech Scene]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/houston-soars-to-top-10-tech-hub-in-north-america-how-texas-cities-are-dominating-the-tech-scene</link> <guid>houston-soars-to-top-10-tech-hub-in-north-america-how-texas-cities-are-dominating-the-tech-scene</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 13 Jan 2026 20:15:16 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Houston, already known as the Energy Capital of the World, is rapidly gaining recognition as a major tech hub. According to **Site Selection** magazine's **2026 North American Tech Hub Index**, Houston has climbed to the **No. 10 spot**, up from No. 16 last year. This index evaluates tech hotspots across the continent based on factors like **internet connectivity**, **tech talent**, and **facility projects for tech companies**, using data from CBRE, CompTIA, and TeleGeography. In 2023, the Greater Houston Partnership highlighted that the region was emerging as a **prominent tech hub**, joining cities like San Francisco and Austin. The Houston-area tech sector now employs over **230,000 people** and generates an **economic impact of $21.2 billion**. ### Texas Tech Hubs on the Rise Other Texas metros also performed well on the index: - **Dallas-Fort Worth** secured the **No. 1 spot**, moving up from No. 2 last year. - **Austin** rose from No. 8 to No. 7. - San Antonio, however, dropped from No. 18 to No. 22. Economic development officials in DFW praised the region's top ranking. Duane Dankesreiter of the Dallas Regional Chamber noted that DFW's **scale, talent base, and diverse strengths** set it apart as a national leader. Robert Allen of the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership emphasized DFW's role as a **center of innovation and next-generation technology**. ### Austin's Tech Identity Thom Singer, CEO of the Austin Technology Council, reflected on Austin's tech scene, describing it as an **economic engine and a global brand** built by risk-takers and innovators. He emphasized that Austin tech is not just a trend but a **community that continues to reinvent itself**. ### Port San Antonio's Impact South of Austin, Port San Antonio is a key driver of tech activity, with over 80 employers on its 1,900-acre campus. In 2024, it supported **18,400 workers** and created a **local economic impact of $7.9 billion**, according to Zenith Economics. Acting state comptroller Kelly Hancock called it a **prime example of innovation and infrastructure strengthening Texas' economy**.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>houston</category> <category>techhubs</category> <category>texas</category> <category>innovation</category> <category>economicimpact</category> <enclosure url="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy82MTQzODkzMi9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTc4NDMxNjY4N30.upO0sWsMKvM49SRxG0ZiatdeiqB87mwYJ6zPjersRi4/img.jpg?width=1200&height=600&coordinates=0%2C92%2C0%2C92" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unemployed Workers Hired to Train AI That Will Replace Them - The Dark Reality of Tech's Latest Trend]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/unemployed-workers-hired-to-train-ai-that-will-replace-them-the-dark-reality-of-techs-latest-trend</link> <guid>unemployed-workers-hired-to-train-ai-that-will-replace-them-the-dark-reality-of-techs-latest-trend</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Jan 2026 20:15:16 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Getty / Futurism* While debates rage about whether AI is actually replacing jobs in substantial numbers, many tech startups are actively working to make this a reality. According to a Wall Street Journal report, a prominent San Francisco-based AI company called **Mercor** is hiring desperate job-seekers for what many consider a particularly grim task: **training AI models to eventually perform the very work these individuals used to do**. ### A Growing Concern This development comes as concerns about AI replacing jobs en masse continue to escalate. Late last year, computer scientist and AI "godfather" Geoffrey Hinton predicted that AI would continue to "replace many, many jobs" in 2026 as the technology "gets even better." An MIT study from last year found that **more than 20 million Americans' work could be replaced with today's AI**, representing approximately **$1.2 trillion in wage value**. ### The Human Experience Paying people who are already struggling in a difficult job market to train their future replacements represents a twisted new reality in the age of artificial intelligence. "I joked with my friends I'm training AI to take my job someday," said 30-year-old video editor Katie Williams, who has been captioning and rating video clips for Mercor for six months. Automotive journalist Peter Valdes-Dapena, who was laid off in 2024, has been critiquing AI-generated news articles for Mercor. While recognizing the irony, he rationalizes his participation: "I didn't invent AI and I'm not going to uninvent it. If I were to stop doing this, would that stop it? The answer is no." ### Company Practices and Worker Conditions Mercor hired **tens of thousands of contractors** last year after signing partnerships with AI industry leaders including OpenAI and Anthropic. However, job security and stable income appear elusive. The company suddenly fired thousands of data labelers last year, only to rehire them for similar projects at **considerably lower pay**. According to a company spokeswoman, contractors must install time-tracking software on their computers to ensure they aren't cutting corners. Some workers were even caught using AI to rate AI model outputs. ### Skepticism About AI Capabilities Despite the concerns, some remain skeptical about AI's ability to completely replace human workers. Lawyer Sara Kubik, who supplements her income by working for Mercor, told reporters that the work has "taught me the limitations of AI." Researchers have found that companies may be **massively overestimating what AI can actually accomplish**. A Carnegie Mellon University study revealed that even the best AI models available at the time **failed to complete real-world office tasks 70 percent of the time**.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>employment</category> <category>automation</category> <category>tech-ethics</category> <category>future-work</category> <enclosure url="https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/mercor-unemployed-teach-ai.jpg?w=1200" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
