Recalibrating How We Learn: Closing the STEM Gap
Description:
STEM fields have emerged as key drivers of economic growth and innovation worldwide, but according to a National Association of Manufacturing and Deloitte report, the U.S. will have a shortage of up to 3.5 million STEM workers by 2025. A large driver of this is access to education, which has inspired organizations to offer more cost-effective alternatives to upskill and break down barriers in their respective industries. Hear about unique approaches to democratizing learning, tackling subjects such as science, technology and AI, and reaching the next generation of learners.
