    Guide to Prepare Generation Alpha for 78 Million New Jobs

    Insights from the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2025

    Over two decades ago, I entered the job market bright-eyed and armed with my business degree. At the time, “work” meant offices stacked with rows of cubicles, employees churning out reports, and the most exotic workplace technology being clunky fax machines. Fast forward to 2025—can you believe we now live in a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is creating art, self-driving cars are actual things, and our toddlers are more fluent in touchscreens than most of us were in our teenage years?

    Global Employment Change By 2030

    This shifting landscape prompted me, as the CEO of Moonpreneur, to focus on an urgent question: How can we equip today’s kids—Generation Alpha and Beta—for a future defined by uncharted career paths and unprecedented challenges?

    Here’s the catch: while we, as parents, ponder how to pay for braces or save for college, “career preparation” has already started changing beneath our feet. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs 2025 Report offers startling insights into this change. Let’s connect the dots between this global shift and Moonpreneur’s efforts to prepare the next wave of changemakers.

    1. The Rise of Technology: Not Just Another Buzzword

    Job Growth And Decline

    Industrial Job Growth

    The WEF report leaves no room for doubt: technology is no longer augmenting jobs—it’s transforming them. Broadening digital access will impact 60% of businesses by 2030, while roles like AI and Machine Learning Specialists and Big Data Analysts are set to grow by over 100%.

    Let me share a story: A few months ago, my 10-year-old nephew started teaching himself Python to design video games. On one hand, I’m amazed; on the other, I’m worried he’ll bypass his summer chores for debugging sessions. Jokes aside, his curiosity represents precisely what the workforce will demand in coming decades—coding as basic literacy, creativity as non-negotiable, and technological fluency as indispensable.

    Skill On Rise

    At Moonpreneur, we’ve made it our mission to foster this early engagement. Our Innovator Program integrates advanced technologies like AI, robotics, and app development into workshops tailored for kids. The results? Imagine an 11-year-old designing an app to help busy parents organize their grocery lists. It’s not just learning; its building. Book a free trial of our innovator program today.

    This approach complements the report’s key insight: the top three fastest-growing skills over the next five years will be AI, big data, and technological literacy. We’re ensuring that Generation Alpha not only keeps up with but also leads the charge.

    2. The Green Transition: Good for the Planet, Great for Careers

    One of the more surprising nuggets in the WEF report is that roles linked to climate action—Environmental Engineers, Renewable Energy Technicians, and Sustainability Specialists—are some of the fastest-growing. Driven by investments to curb emissions and adopt clean technologies, this sector holds immense potential.

    As an avid hiker who’s seen glaciers shrink over two decades, I’m deeply invested in sustainability. But beyond the ethical imperative, think of this shift as fertile ground for innovation. 

    Kids today aren’t just recycling—they’re solving problems, creating sustainable solutions, and launching eco-focused startups.To align with this trend, we’ve introduced a unique sustainability track within Moonpreneur’s Innovator Program. Our workshops teach students how to design solar-powered gadgets or engineer solutions that save water in daily life. It’s not just “Look, I planted a tree.”

    Instead, it’s, “Let’s 3D-print components for mini wind turbines.” Practical, tangible, and high-impact—that’s how we aim to foster the next Greta Thunberg or Elon Musk.

    3. Demographic Shifts and Education: Why Your Kids’ Teachers Will be Rockstars

    Dual Impact Decline And Growth

    The world isn’t just becoming older or younger; it’s both, depending on geography. While higher-income nations face aging populations and shrinking workforces, lower-income regions like parts of Asia and Africa boast booming youth demographics. This will push teaching and mentoring roles, especially secondary and higher-education positions, to the forefront of job creation.

    I recall a parent at a recent Moonpreneur workshop asking, “Why are you so focused on soft skills? Shouldn’t kids focus solely on hard STEM skills?” I smiled and replied with a question of my own: “Who’s going to inspire and manage these tech-savvy innovators? Robots?” We’re committed to growing holistic problem-solvers who don’t just excel in STEM but also thrive in leadership and collaboration.

    For context, teaching roles rank high in job growth due to their emphasis on talent management, as identified in the WEF report. Our curriculum aligns perfectly—project-based learning fosters mentorship skills as students teach peers while collaborating on inventions or presentations.

    4. The Skill Instability Equation: Change is the Only Constant

    Disruption To Skill

    Did you know that 39% of today’s skills will either evolve or become obsolete by 2030? It’s a startling revelation from the WEF report, made even more significant by the fact that over 50% of workers have started reskilling since 2023. This upheaval is as much an opportunity as a challenge.

    For our kids, the goal isn’t mastery of one subject but adaptability across many. Here’s where Moonpreneur stands apart—our multidisciplinary approach teaches entrepreneurial thinking alongside foundational subjects like math and coding. Kids pitch their ideas, learn to manage setbacks and pivot when necessary.

    For example, consider Manvik, a 11-year-old MoonBattle Conference 2024 participant. He pitched an AI Cane for the Visually Impaired.Driven by the goal of improving safety and independence for individuals with visual impairments, Manvik’s AI-powered cane leverages advanced object detection technology to detect obstacles, recognize objects, and deliver real-time navigational assistance.

    The AI-powered cane will offer enhanced obstacle detection and object recognition for improved awareness in diverse environments, provide real-time auditory and haptic feedback for seamless navigation. With an intuitive interface, adaptive sound technology, adjustable design for a personalized fit, and touch-free operation, it will ensure a safer, more customized experience for users. Manvik’s project is more than a tech success story—it’s a testament to adaptability, a trait businesses covet in uncertain times.

    Aligning Curiosity with Careers: What Parents Can Do Today

    As parents, guiding your child through this whirlwind of change can seem overwhelming. Here’s my advice:

    🪄Encourage Exploration: Think beyond academics. Does your kid enjoy building robots? Cooking? Writing blogs? These hobbies might just shape future careers in robotics, food tech, or digital marketing.

    🪄Be a Co-Learner: Technology and career demands aren’t slowing down, so don’t let your learning stop either. Enroll in an online course together—it’ll show your child that curiosity never ages.

    🪄Stay Updated: Knowing emerging trends can help you steer your children toward activities that provide the biggest growth potential.

    Finally, encourage your kids to fail—frequently and constructively. Moonpreneur’s Innovator Program is designed to turn failures into learning experiences, whether through redesigning a circuit board or fixing a buggy app. Because at the end of the day, resilience matters as much as skills.

    The Way Forward

    The Future of Jobs isn’t arriving; it’s here, reshaping how businesses operate and societies function. As the Moonpreneur team builds innovative programs to meet the report’s outlined demands, I’m reminded of a quote from futurist Alvin Toffler: “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

    Generations Alpha and Beta will not just inherit this rapidly shifting world—they will thrive within it. But it starts now, with an ecosystem of curious minds, supportive families, and programs like Moonpreneur that prioritize forward-looking skills. Together, let’s ensure your children aren’t just job-ready—they’re future-ready.

    So what’s your child building next? Let Moonpreneur help them discover, create, and lead the innovations of tomorrow. The future isn’t waiting—and neither should they. Book a free trial of our innovator program today.
