    Fear is growing that robots and artificial intelligence will replace many jobs. To remain employable, workers must develop innovative skills like critical thinking, problem solving, communication and teamwork. This study investigated how a work integrated learning program impacted the development of these skills in students over time. It found participating in a work placement significantly improved students' capabilities in innovation, which will be important for human workers to distinguish themselves from automation.

    Robot will take your job: Innovation for an era of


    artificial intelligence. Journal of Business Research. 116. 68-74.
    10.1016/j.jbusres.2020.05.019. Fear is growing that robots and artificial
    intelligence will replace many occupations. To remain relevant in this changing
    career landscape, the worker of the future is expected to be innovative, able to
    spot opportunities transform industries and provide creative solutions to meet
    global challenges. To develop such capabilities, work integrated learning (WIL) has
    emerged as an important approach. The purpose of this study is to investigate the
    key factors driving innovation among WIL students. Unlike prior studies that have
    been predominantly qualitative or based on one single snapshot, this quantitative,
    longitudinal study measures student capabilities before and after participation in
    a WIL placement at a business. It then undertakes confirmatory factor analysis to
    compare pre- and post-placement capabilities. The study found that critical
    thinking, problem solving, communication and teamwork have significant impacts on
    the development of innovation: vital in the era of artificial intelligence.
