Historically, universities have prioritized educating those between 18- and 24-years-old. But, the needs of the workforce change over time. This is especially true in an age where AI and automation are making inroads into every industry. It's time colleges adapt with the workforce. And upskilling may be the answer — whether that comes in the form of microcredentialing, skills-based training, or whatever else.

Join The Chronicle on Monday, January 27 at 2 p.m. ET, for a new Virtual Forum, "The Upside of Upskilling." During this event, we'll speak with colleges and universities that have begun offering more upskilling courses targeting those already in the work force. We'll explore:

• Which industries are primed for upskilling.

• What technology you should offer courses on.

• Which management skills are required for the evolving workforce.
