Studies indicate that employers might be the new “post-secondary colleges.”
Employers are becoming the new post-secondary colleges, offering essential L&D opportunities that attract today's job seekers, especially Gen Z.
A report from edX suggests that 80% of workers see employers as post-secondary learning institutions. This means that employers have the opportunity to provide additional learning and development (L&D) opportunities to incoming workers, including the class of 2024. In addition to artificial intelligence (AI) upskilling, professionalism and etiquette are important skills for young professionals. Many students are entering college without having had a part-time job, which means they may lack basic workplace etiquette. HR can address this by clearly communicating expectations and emphasizing the importance of consideration and communication within the workplace community. Employers are now seen as the next post-secondary college and need to have early conversations about workplace expectations. Almost 50% of upcoming college graduates are more likely to apply for a job that offers employer-provided professional development and upskilling resources. This desire for L&D opportunities is particularly common among Gen Z workers, who recognize the need to refresh their skills at a faster pace.

The agent-shaped org chart
Every real org has the same topology: principal, role-holder, specialists. Staff AI maps onto it, node for node, and the cost collapse shows up in the deliverables that were always just human-handoff overhead.
AI as staff, not software
Two frames for what AI is doing to work. The tool frame makes tools smarter. The staff frame makes roles unnecessary. Those aren't the same product, the same company, or the same industry.
Knowledge work was never work
Knowledge work was always coordination between humans who couldn't share state directly. The artifacts were never the work. They were the overhead — and AI just made the overhead optional.

Want to learn about agents? Talk to someone who ran an agency.
I spent 20 years running consulting engagements at Fortune 500 companies. Turns out that's the best preparation for running a fleet of AI agents ... because the problems are identical.
Your AI agents need a water cooler
We run a twelve-session AI fleet that coordinates through an IRC breakroom. A friend asked: why are you making AI agents act like humans? The answer turned out to be more interesting than the question.
