**AI has transformed the job market in the last year, here’s how recent grads can be better prepared.**

While many in Gen Z are fearful of how AI could affect their job security, a new IBM study revealed this boom could actually create jobs.[ 40% of CEOs surveyed plan to hire additional staff because of generative AI](https://newsroom.ibm.com/2024-05-16-IBM-Study-As-CEOs-Race-Towards-Gen-AI-Adoption,-Questions-Around-Workforce-and-Culture-Persist) and 51% percent say they are hiring for generative AI roles that did not exist last year, with more than half saying they are struggling to fill key technology roles.
