Description …Back to school? Not necessarily appealing right? The experimental, embedded, and reflexive departments of education and training within creative industries are taking education back! This panel gathers some visionaries. Many traditional business functions such as PR, sales, marketing, philanthropy, recruitment, and business development are now “education initiatives.” We recognized a need for a 21c model of professional adult education in the workplace and will discuss what the possibilities are given new cooperative models, technological tools, demand for knowledge sharing, and increasingly competitive fields of global business. We will also share thoughts on pioneering school models including ones internal and/or external to the organization, academic, and platform-specific models.
