Randstad executive highlights continuous learning to adapt to AI transformation

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally altering the modern labor market, requiring workers to adapt through continuous on-the-job training, according to Marjolein ten Hoonte of staffing agency Randstad.

Speaking on career resilience amid rapid technological shifts, Ten Hoonte dismissed quick-fix guides for making careers AI-proof. Instead, she emphasized that professional development must now occur primarily within the workplace rather than traditional educational institutions. Reflecting on this evolution, she noted, "In the past, we went to school to learn. Now you have to go to work to learn."

As automated systems reshape job roles, ongoing skills acquisition and adaptability are becoming vital for employees navigating the changing employment landscape.
