Reimagining Learning for a Rapidly Changing World
Description:
According to the World Economic Forum, four years from now, 35% of skills that are considered important in today’s workforce will have changed. Recent McKinsey study predicts that up to 800M people will be made jobless by 2030. With 35% of the U.S. workforce freelancing, 1 in 4 adults reporting a mismatch between the skills they have and the skills they need for their current job, and underemployment among recent college graduates at 44% — it’s clear that we need to rethink learning for all.
