Assess students' ability to analyze how automation and AI reshape career trajectories and drive skill obsolescence among mid‑level professionals. Scope includes mechanisms of task displacement and augmentation, task‑based vulnerability frameworks and skill‑depreciation models, sectoral case studies, measurement of obsolescence and mobility, impacts on wages and promotion pathways, and evaluation of organizational and policy responses (reskilling, job redesign, transition supports). Students must synthesize empirical evidence, perform scenario-based forecasting, and propose actionable mitigation strategies with trade‑off analysis.
