The opportunity

AI is changing work faster than the safety net.

The World Economic Forum projects 92 million jobs displaced globally by 2030, alongside 170 million created, as technology and other macrotrends reshape work. A net gain is no help to the person whose job went first. Philanthropic infrastructure for this transition is still being built. TEKVA is moving early.

The information gap

Questions nobody is answering

Foresight funders are asking questions that have no good answers—yet. These gaps represent TEKVA's strategic opportunity.

"What does effective early intervention for AI displacement actually look like?"

Plenty of theory from McKinsey and the WEF, and very few operational case studies. TEKVA is building the playbook in real time.

"How much does it cost to stabilise a displaced worker?"

No organisation publishes cost-per-outcome data for workforce displacement specifically. TEKVA is creating this metric.

"Is anyone using AI to help people displaced by AI?"

Very few organisations are set up for it yet. TEKVA is one early attempt, built by people who use the tools every day.

The trajectory

Why the window is now

2024–2025

The displacement begins

Early AI-driven layoffs across admin, customer service, content, and entry-level tech. Workers fall through existing safety nets designed for a pre-AI economy.

2026–2027

The acceleration

Autonomous AI agents replace entire workflows. Mid-career professionals affected. Support systems lag behind the crisis curve.

2028–2030

The new normal

92 million jobs displaced globally on the WEF 2030 projection. Organisations that built infrastructure NOW become the backbone of the transition. Those that waited scramble to catch up.

The thesis

The organisations that build infrastructure for AI workforce transition today will shape how people get through the labour market shift now under way.

Financial counselling at TEKVA is delivered by an FCAN-registered Financial Counsellor. Financial capability support is provided by a Financial Capability Worker, whose scope is capability support only — no credit advice or creditor negotiation. Credit advice and creditor negotiation sit with our Financial Counsellor. We also provide practical support and referral coordination, and connect people with crisis services where they need them. We do not provide AFSL-licensed financial product advice, legal advice, or insolvency advice. Where another service is the better fit, we'll help connect you with community services, tenancy help or specialist legal support.
