In the wake of post-COVID societal shifts and rapid industrial advancements, the education system must evolve to meet the demands of a new era.


The significant federal investments in American industry and clean energy

technologies through the recent CHIPS, IRA, and BIL bills have created an urgent need for a workforce with new skills adaptable to rapidly changing technologies, partly due to AI.


The educational system must address factors like early retirements, reduced immigration, and shifting work-life balance priorities post-pandemic. This means meeting the workforce on a new playing field with innovative educational methods.


The webinar will delve into these insights and more, including -


  1. Engagement and Accessibility: Strategies to ensure inclusive and accessible educational opportunities.
  2. Workforce Development Strategies: Innovative approaches to align educational programs with industry needs.
  3. Early Career Awareness: The importance of introducing career concepts early to guide students.
  4. Support for Career Changers: Tailoring educational programs to support career transitions.
  5. Leveraging Labor Market Data: Using data to develop responsive workforce programs.
  6. Industry Collaboration: Building sustainable partnerships between education and industry.


Why Attend? This webinar is essential for educators, policymakers, and professionals dedicated to advancing educational frameworks that align with emerging industry needs and societal values. Join a conversation that will help shape the future of education and workforce readiness.
