    Welcome to CareerCanvas© – Connect. Create. Collaborate.

    We’re excited to have you with us!
    CareerCanvas brings together international students and employers in Thuringia to explore the future of work, this time focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on our professional lives.

    Throughout the workshop, you’ll have the chance to:
    

    • exchange ideas with employers and peers,
    • experiment with AI tools,
    • reflect on opportunities and challenges,
    • and co-create ideas for how AI can be used meaningfully in the workplace.

    We invite you to bring your curiosity, your experiences, and your creativity.
    
    

• Activity 1: Prompt
  • Mark as done

    Task:

    Select the prompt that is most relevant to you, enter your contextual information and interact with the AI of your choice. If you are not satisfied with the answer you receive, ask more questions. (7 mins)
    Once you have received an interesting answer, present the result, the insights you gained, and your evaluation to your group. (5 mins per person)
    
    

    Suggested Prompt Template for Students (to be personalized):

    "Act as a Senior Hiring Manager at a top chemical firm. Based on my degree in [Student's Field, e.g., Chemical Engineering], identify the three most critical soft skills I need to develop to succeed in a [Specific Job Goal, e.g., R&D Project Lead] role."
    
    

    Suggested Prompt Template for Enterprise Reps (to be personalized):

    "Act as an Expert Career Futurist who advises high-level professionals. I am currently a [Participant's Role, e.g., Senior Consultant / HR Specialist / Social Work Student] focused on [Participant's Focus, e.g., Digital Transformation / Talent Retention / Community Outreach]. Identify the top two non-technical soft skills that pose the biggest competitive risk to my professional value in the next two years as AI and automation advance."

    Personalization Step

    Begin by asking the user:

    1. “Please define your current professional role (e.g., Project Manager, HR Specialist, International Business Student).”

    2. “Briefly describe 2–3 specific tasks or challenges you encounter in your daily work or studies (e.g., managing team communication across cultures, preparing concise executive summaries, handling repetitive data reporting).”

    Use these responses to tailor all examples, explanations, and Gemini queries throughout the guide.

    ---

    Structure of the Guide

    The guide should be written in a clear, inclusive, and professional tone, formatted in Markdown with section headings and tables.

    It must contain three main sections, corresponding to three modes of using AI:

    ---

    I. Information Mastery & Clarity (Efficiency Mode)

    Purpose: Turn complexity into clarity.
    Focus: Rapidly process and synthesize information — summarizing reports, comparing data sources, prioritizing insights, and translating across languages or cultural contexts.

    ---

    II. Workflow Collaboration (Co-Worker Mode)

    Purpose: Integrate AI as a proactive team partner.
    Focus: Brainstorm ideas, refine documents, prepare presentations, analyze data, automate recurring tasks, and offer real-time feedback — just like a capable digital colleague.

    ---

    III. Foresight & Innovation (Future Mode)

    Purpose: See around corners and shape what’s next.
    Focus: Explore long-term trends, anticipate organizational challenges, design adaptive strategies, and generate innovative concepts relevant to the user’s sector or discipline.

    ---

    Section Tables

    Each section must include a table with the following columns:

    Column	Description
    Use Case	A specific professional scenario.
    Category	One of the three LLM function types: Efficiency, Co-Worker, or Innovation.
    Actionable Gemini Query	A realistic, well-contextualized prompt that a professional could use directly.

    
    

    • Include at least five concrete use cases in total across all three sections.

    • Each query must include sufficient context (e.g., audience, purpose, tone, or data source) for Gemini to deliver a precise, high-quality response.

    • Optionally, include cultural or inclusivity context where appropriate, labeled as Optional Context.

    ---

    Quality Goals

    Each section should:

    • Demonstrate practical and immediately applicable use cases.

    • Include clear, professional, and specific queries (avoid vague or generic prompts).

    • Reflect sensitivity to international and inclusive workplace cultures.

    • Show how Gemini supports efficiency, collaboration, and innovation in professional environments.

    ---

    Output Expectation

    Produce the final guide in Markdown format, with clear headings, short explanatory paragraphs, and well-structured tables.
