Entry-level roles may narrow: AI tools can generate lesson plans and simulate conversations, reducing demand for junior teachers; but experienced teachers remain scarce, and industry certifications and practical experience requirements have increased. New entrants need stronger digital skills.
In the next 5 years, vocational trainers should focus on dual 'AI + industry' skills: master AI curriculum development tools to generate basic materials, while deepening industry practical experience (e.g., leading apprenticeship projects). Career advancement paths include Learning Experience Designer, Training Project Manager, or Corporate Talent Development Consultant. Maintain industry certifications (e.g., CPLP) and learn data-driven teaching optimization methods to become an irreplaceable 'human-machine collaboration' teaching expert.
