How confident did you feel when you first stepped into your career?

For many early career professionals, building independence isn’t always straightforward. It’s something that develops over time, through experience, trust, and the opportunities we’re given to grow.

In today’s world of work, independence is more important than ever. It helps professionals build confidence, strengthen problem solving skills, and take real ownership of their development.

In our latest blog, we explore how organisations can better support early talent in developing independence, and how individuals can start building it for themselves from day one.

If you’re thinking about how to nurture confidence, encourage ownership, and support future leaders, this is one to read.

Attending the PPA Festival reinforced a consistent theme across every session: while the industry is changing quickly, the fundamentals are not. Publishing is a human industry and is only becoming more human as we evolve with, and navigate through, this period of rapid change.
But what does this mean in practice? We're pleased to share with you our five top takeaways from this week's PPA festival and our thoughts on how each could impact you - check out our full write up on the Inspired Library!

Some promising news in a new report from the Institute of Student Employers; AI isn't replacing entry-level roles – it's reshaping them:

- 87% of employers expect AI to change graduate and apprentice roles
- 43% say roles have already evolved, often without formal redesign
- Only 18% anticipate significant job loss at entry level

Instead, the shift is towards stronger critical thinking and judgement; a greater emphasis on communication and adaptability; and a growing demand for AI literacy. At the same time, there are real challenges emerging around candidates using AI to misrepresent their skills; anxiety and uncertainty amongst early-career talent and a need for better onboarding, training and wellbeing support.

This is not about reducing headcount - it is about redesigning roles and investing in development and for candidates, it's being able to demonstrate those critical thinking skills alongside AI literacy. How is AI shaping your entry-level roles or hiring approach?
https://www.thehrdirector.com/business-news/graduates-and-employment/ai-expected-reshape-entry-level-roles-within-three-years/

Most employers expect AI to reshape rather than replace entry-level jobs over the next three years, according to a new report from the Institute of Student Employers (ISE).
