Bacon, Eggs, and Hashtags?
#futureofwork, #futureofeducation, #classroomofthefuture, #gigeconomy, #VR, #AR, #entrepreneurship, #employabilityskills, #apprenticeships We have all seen these hashtags widely circulating in education and workforce, but what do they really mean for our students, educational institutions, workforce, and our community-at-large? The world of work and education is undergoing a period of dramatic change.
No single actor—a government, business, individual, or educational institution can singularly prepare us for the changes ahead. Join this expert panel of voices that include, industry partners, community college practitioners, students, policy leaders, community members, and intermediaries as we actively engage with one another around proactively shaping a new, positive future of work and education. Participants will walk away with immediate applications on how to provide equitable & accessible futures of work and education for all students.
