AI assistance potential
How much AI tools make the worker more capable
Secondary Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers can leverage AI tools for lesson planning, generating safety quizzes, creating differentiated instructional content, updating curriculum to match evolving industry standards, and streamlining administrative duties. However, a significant portion of their core work involves hands-on physical instruction, live demonstrations of technical skills, monitoring equipment safety in shop or lab environments, and direct behavioral management. As a result, AI offers meaningful productivity gains for lesson preparation and administrative tasks, but core hands-on instruction remains largely unaugmented.
What the work involves and who it suits, beyond AI.
What the two scores mean
Automation exposure is how much of the work current AI can already perform. A high score means the tasks are exposed, not that the job will disappear: how employers use that is a separate question.
AI assistance potential is how much AI tools make a worker in this occupation more capable. It is upside, not risk — a job can score high on both.
