PHOENIX, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- University of Phoenix will host the next installment of its Bridging Perspectives webinar series, "When AI Changes the Work, How Do You Stay Relevant Without Starting Over?" on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2026. Presented by the Office of Collaborative Learning and Educational Engagement, the webinar is designed for higher education leaders, employers, nonprofit organizations, University of Phoenix faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members. The discussion will explore how professionals can remain adaptable as artificial intelligence transforms workplace expectations and skill requirements.
"AI is changing how work gets done, but human judgment, adaptability and continuous learning remain essential," said Saray Lopez, MBA, director of strategic initiatives at University of Phoenix. "Professionals who build on their experience while developing new skills can position themselves to navigate change and create new opportunities throughout their careers."
Why experience still matters in an AI-driven workplace
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape workplace tasks and workflows, employers and employees are navigating changing expectations around skills, productivity and career development. While technical capabilities are evolving rapidly, many organizations continue to place value on experience, critical thinking and professional judgment. Recent University of Phoenix Career Institute® research suggests workers are increasingly approaching AI as a tool for career growth, with 53% reporting that AI advancements increase their confidence in building skills and 81% saying AI helps them identify new ways to apply their skills for future growth.
How professionals can adapt as skills evolve
During the webinar, panelists will explore practical strategies for navigating workplace transformation, including:
How to recognize which knowledge and skills remain valuable as roles and expectations change.
What it means to unlearn approaches or assumptions that may no longer serve professionals without dismissing the experience behind them.
How cross-generational learning can help professionals exchange judgment, context, technology skills and new ways of working.
How continuous learning and reskilling can support long-term career adaptability.
As organizations navigate rapid technological change and evolving workforce demands, professionals across career stages are adapting to new expectations and ways of working. The webinar will explore how cross-generational knowledge sharing can help individuals and organizations respond to change while leveraging both emerging capabilities and professional experience
