Options for retraining that lead to a concrete, tangible job role within a year

[AreBearsCatholic]

Because of AI and funding cuts I need a new career for my remaining two decades.
I have a TEFL, a good BA and MPhil in a humanities topic and 25 years of increasingly niche experience in a job that doesn’t really exist anymore in the humanitarian/development field (I can’t say what it is as it’s that niche). Transferable skills are attention to detail, writing, presenting.
I speak 6 languages fluently and have worked as a translator, though I am aware what a pointless skill this is these days.
I can invest some time and some money in retraining, I just draw a complete blank as to what. Ideally the training would be for a fairly concrete job that can be done remotely.
Really grateful for any ideas at all, especially off the wall ones. The gov.uk career quiz suggests things like data science, but the path to that doesn’t seem very clear to me.

Are you looking for a job, self employed job, or a big career opportunity?

The options, paths and costs (not only money based) would differ.

Thank you! The thing that I wonder about programming is whether I could ever compete with someone who has been doing it for longer. I‘d do a bootcamp happily but the reviews on them are terrible. I learned some ruby on rails at some point so I suppose I could try and do a little Python on the side to gradually get more into it, but I don’t think it could be the focus.
What‘s appealing to me about governance is that the frameworks and the approach to regulation seem familiar, though the focus is obviously different, so it feels initially like a better fit. Comparing my CV with job ads I’m about 60% there, so just have to work out what could provide the last 40%. I‘m going to look for a podcast and try and get a better picture of the concepts.

I‘m self-employed now so that wouldn’t be a dealbreaker; I could potentially do the new work alongside the old while the field is dying, there’s still enough work for now. Employment would be nice for a change though.
I would like something that’s a fairly clear career path for the next ten years with the idea of developing in the role. I need to stay a bit more general this time I think; my current niche is so niche that I have only heard of one person doing the exact same work, and though I‘ve applied for related jobs I think people don’t trust that I still have the generalist skills, though I think I do.

I don't think this will appeal now but I'll share just in case, working with international students at your nearest university?

HR in a large hospital or Uni - your language skills would be useful.

I don't think programming as such makes sense for you - junior coding jobs are limited because of the AI and many tech companies are letting even really good SW engineers go now.
Plus, this field has always expected juniors to put many hours in to get up to speed.

Your reason for learning some programming would be aiming at something related to IT (including the AI governance), and positioning yourself as someone of the both words. Your asset here must be the governance, not the IT/AI.

You say you wouldn't consider teaching but perhaps you only have one vision of what teaching looks like - have you looked into Montessori teacher training? this is different - developmentally algigned since it follows the neuroscience of learning - that is - how our brains are supposted to learn
