About
About this programme
Every profession is having the same argument
Engineers, architects, lawyers, doctors, musicians: each profession is asking what AI means for its work. What do clients still need us for? Which skills still matter? And what happens to the routine early-career work that used to be how people learned judgement?
Most of those debates happen inside each profession, among people who've already made it. The people with the most at stake are rarely in the room: the students and graduates training for the work as it's going to be, not as it was.
That's who this programme is for. Each season follows one profession and asks what its next generation needs to arrive ready. It isn't a collapse story. Professions that adapt for their clients' benefit can come out stronger, and we want to explore that with them.
We go looking for the innovators
Everyone in Agent Build Club is an innovator: looking at how something is done now and finding a practical way to do it better. So each season spotlights the innovators inside a profession or industry that's changing, and looks at three things:
- The profession itself. How the work, the codes and the relationship with clients are shifting.
- The people already in it. The new skills experienced professionals need, so they can keep leading and keep teaching.
- The businesses that will hire the next generation. How practices and firms need to evolve to take on graduates whose first rung looks very different.
Is your profession having this debate?
We're starting with engineering this November and architecture in spring 2027. Next, we'd like to build seasons with:
- the legal profession
- medicine
- health and care professionals
- musicians and the performing arts
If you work in one of these professions, or in a professional body, practice, firm or school that trains its next generation, we'd like to hear from you. We'll build a season around your profession's debate with you: talks, innovation sessions and hands-on work that help the next generation enter it ready.
And if there's a profession you think we should be doing a season on, tell us that too.
What you get
What it is and what it gives you
The Future of the Professions is a free programme of seasons, each looking at how AI is changing one profession and the work its next generation is training for. A season brings talks from practitioners, hands-on sessions and time to think it through with students, businesses and educators together. Between sessions, the conversation carries on in our community.
