Summary/Abstract: The evolution of technology has changed society's thinking, employers' claims and uncertainty among those who cannot adapt to the new. The new jobs that have emerged in recent years have put more emphasis on creativity and science, which is a disadvantage for people with a phlegmatic temperament, inclined to routine, meticulous tasks. What solution would it be in the future for employers to emphasize on relational, creative and learning abilities, then the mathematical and logical ones be taken by those inclined towards them. In the future, due to the technology of workplaces, people will have to learn to adapt to the new, to know better about them and the resources they have in order to find the right jobs for them. A proposed solution for employability would be the creation of prototypes for each job. There are still trades in which people cannot be replaced by robots, and they lack emotions, feelings, creativity, reason. These are specific human qualities and jobs that assume such qualities will be in the future: psychologist, nanny, actor, singer, make-up artist, physician, social worker. With all the advantages that IA can bring, emotional intelligence, how to act and react in various situations, the sense of humor, creativity, spontaneity, expressivity, cognitive flexibility cannot be taken over or replaced by robots. The question arises: what jobs could be created in the future so that the unemployment rate remains low and the psychological comfort of the people raised? The students from the University POLITECHNICA Bucharest will create a strategy in which they will answer this question and propose new jobs for the future.
