About this event

Join us for our Food for Thought event series: Talent, Toffee n' Coffee, supported by Finance Isle of Man. We explore how the relationship between employers, employees and opportunity is evolving in the AI economy. AI is changing work faster than most organisations are prepared for. The conversation is no longer simply about which jobs may disappear. It is about how hiring is changing, how skills are being assessed, and what it will take to build successful careers in a world where technology is reshaping entire industries in real time. As AI becomes embedded across recruitment, learning, software development, and day-to-day work, traditional signals of talent and employability are being challenged. CVs are being augmented by assessments. Qualifications are competing with demonstrable skills. And organisations are increasingly asking what future-ready talent actually looks like. Together, we'll unpack what businesses are looking for, which skills are becoming more valuable, how hiring is changing, and what individuals can do to remain relevant in an increasingly AI-driven world. Whether you're a founder, hiring manager, HR leader, student, job seeker, or simply curious about the future of work, this session will provide practical insights into one of the most important shifts shaping the next decade of business and careers. Who It's For Founders and business leaders building teams in a changing talent landscape HR, people, and talent professionals navigating new approaches to hiring and development Managers looking to future-proof their teams Students and graduates preparing to enter the workforce Professionals considering career shifts or upskilling opportunities Anyone interested in understanding how AI is changing the future of work Whether you're hiring talent, developing talent, or becoming talent, this conversation is for you.
