Conversations On Careers: AI Ready - Miniseries Teaser
Two questions are on every student's mind right now: How will AI affect the job I'm trying to get? And how do I show up actually ready to use it?
AI Ready — a miniseries from Conversations on Careers and Professional Life -- will feature students from Foster's MBA and graduate programs talking honestly about how they're learning to work with AI. In the classroom. In recruiting. In the work they're already doing.
Foster launched an AI strategy this year built around a straightforward premise: graduates should leave ready to use AI as a real professional tool. That means a required AI bootcamp, a hackathon, and courses designed around practical AI applications in business.
I wanted to hear from the students themselves — what's actually landing, what surprised them, and what they think employers need to understand about this generation of graduates.
Coming This SeasonConversations with Foster students and faculty on:
- Building real AI products with no prior technical background
- Using AI in startup development and pitch competitions
- What cognitive offloading actually costs you — and how to avoid it
- Keeping humans in the loop when the tools keep getting better
- What "AI ready" looks like in practice, not just on paper
