In this episode of The Next Workforce, Phoenix Jackson, reflect on parenting in a time where the future of work is rapidly shifting.

Drawing from a personal experience with her 19-year-old son, this episode explores what happens when traditional pathways like college no longer feel secure or relevant.

As AI reshapes industries and young people begin to question long-held assumptions about careers, parents are being asked to guide without clear direction themselves.

Phoenix shares how she chose to support her son through uncertainty by encouraging exploration, travel, and real-world experience instead of forcing a predefined path.

This episode covers:
• Parenting through uncertainty in the future of work
• The shift away from traditional college expectations
• Why trades and hands-on careers are gaining relevance
• The importance of exposure and real-life experience
• How to help young people find purpose, not just employment

The future of work is changing. The way we raise and guide the next generation must change with it.

Watch, reflect, and join the conversation.
