Table 1, titled “Prediction of Redundant Jobs for 2030,” lists jobs expected to become less necessary or obsolete by 2030, reflecting the impact of transitioning to a greener economy and integrating new technologies and skills. Among these, “Assembly and Factory Workers” are specifically highlighted, indicating a significant shift in the manufacturing sector. This shift suggests that as the economy moves towards sustainability and incorporates advanced technologies such as digitalization, automation, and artificial intelligence, the demand for traditional assembly and factory roles may decrease. These changes emphasize the growing need for technical and transversal skills that support the adaptation and implementation of green technologies, efficient resource use, and sustainable practices. The table underscores the broader trend of decreasing demand for certain middle-skilled and low-skilled jobs amidst the transition to a more technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable economy. 3. Materials and Methods This research study adopts a comprehensive approach that integrates both quantitative and qualitative research methods to investigate the reskilling and upskilling of automotive workers in the era of just transition. Grounded theory serves as the foundational framework for this research, drawing inspiration from the work of (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). Grounded theory emphasizes the development of theories through a systematic and disciplined inquiry process, rooted in empirical data rather than preconceived notions. The original concept of grounded theory, as envisioned by (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). Represents a paradigm shift from traditional deductive approaches to a more inductive method. This approach emerged from their pioneering work in studying terminally ill patients and has since evolved into various genres. Traditional grounded theory, as developed by (Glaser & Strauss, 1967), (Strauss & Corbin, 1990) prioritizes close engagement with data while minimizing preconceived assumptions. Evolved grounded
