              • case study

              ADaPT (Advanced Digital and Professional Training) is a work-integrated learning (WIL) program for job seekers that bridges the gap between employer needs and graduate skills through 70+ hours of intensive, no-cost training on in-demand skills. 

              In this case study, we explain how ADaPT participants use Magnet’s ALiGN tool to better understand how to apply individual strengths and preferences to their career, and how to communicate those skills and qualities to employers.

              ALiGN was developed by Magnet and OTEC.

                  Man VS. Machine

                  As AI becomes increasingly powerful, our distinctly human capabilities become more valuable. Mark explores why judgment, discernment, intuition and agency remain essential advantages, and why developing these capabilities will help us navigate a future shaped by rapidly advancing technology.

                  Capability Stack

                  Your skills are part of what you do, but they do not define who you are. Mark explores why anchoring our identity in deeper capabilities like problem solving, adaptability and systems thinking can help us confidently navigate changing technologies and careers.

                  Cognitive Gyms

                  As AI takes on more of our everyday thinking and work, how do we continue developing judgment and wisdom? Mark explores the idea of “cognitive gyms,” intentional ways to exercise our thinking, strengthen human capabilities and build experience in the AI era.

                  Adaptive Human Potential

                  Adaptability requires more than learning new skills. Mark explores the continuous cycle of sensing change, realigning our capabilities and putting them into action, while building a future grounded in trust, inclusion, meaningful work and the confidence to embrace new possibilities.
