A Transformed Economy 

Higher education is "producing a generation of students who will go out on the labor market and be quite unprepared for what they're expected to do," says Tyler Cowen, an economist. To support graduates for a transformed economy, he says colleges must dedicate one-third of their teaching to understanding both the potential and limitations of AI. In this session, the scholar will discuss artificial intelligence’s effect on labor, the emerging job market, and how a college education must change to keep up.

What Are the Future Skills for Students?

For podcast host and author Michelle R. Weise, it’s time to dispel the fear-mongering myths that AI and automation will replace people. She says that tomorrow’s workplace will require a mix of human and tech skills — or she puts it, intellectual dexterity mixed with technical expertise. In this discussion, she will explore the opportunities ahead for higher ed to educate and retool workers for the rapidly changing world of work.

Pathways, not Pipelines

Today’s students want flexible and convenient educational pathways to join the work force or expand career choices.The old model of funneling students to an academic or vocational destination no longer works. Credit and noncredit offerings, short- and long-term programs, must work together to provide more opportunities for both traditional-age and adult learners. Join the leader of the nation’s largest community-college system to discuss how it’s changing to meet the demands and what lessons it has for 2-year and 4-year institutions.

Achieving True Work-Force Innovation

In her book, Invent Ed, Caroline Levander offers a guidebook of sorts to help colleges rethink their traditional approaches by exploring the rich history of American invention. It traces the country’s inventors, from Benjamin Franklin to Steve Jobs, and what they can teach higher education as it faces a watershed moment to better show its value, build trust with the American public, and innovate how it prepares students for the work force.
