Embrace the T-shaped approach to knowledge<\/strong>
\nThe broad set of skills needed by tomorrow\u2019s workforce also affects our approach to educational structure. At Carnegie Mellon University\u2014like many other institutions\u2014we have been making disciplinary boundaries much more porous and have launched programmes at the edges and intersections of traditional fields, such as behavioral economics, computational biology, and the nexus of design, arts, and technology. We believe this approach prepares our students for a future where thinking and working across boundaries will be vital. The value of combining both breadth and depth in higher education has also led to many universities embracing \u201cT-shaped\u201d teaching and learning philosophies, in which vertical (deep disciplinary) expertise is combined with horizontal (cross-cutting) knowledge.

\nInvest in personalised, technology-enhanced learning
\n<\/b>The demand for more highly skilled workers continues to grow.\u00a0Recent analysis of U.S. data by\u00a0The Wall Street Journa<\/i>l found that<\/a>\u00a0more than 40% of manufacturing workers now have a college degree. By 2022, manufacturers are projected to employ more college graduates than workers with a high-school education or less. Technology-enhanced learning can help us keep up with demand and offer pathways for the existing workforce to gain new skills. AI-based learning tools developed in the past decade have incredible potential to personalise education, enhance college readiness and access, and improve educational outcomes. And perhaps most importantly, technology-enhanced learning has the compelling potential to narrow socioeconomic and racial achievement gaps among students.<\/p>\n

The rapid pace of today\u2019s advances requires a more comprehensive workforce and education strategy across a spectrum of measures, including policy, access, programmes and outreach. The private sector, government, educators and policy-makers must work together to deliver multiple pathways to opportunity for young people looking for their first foothold in the job market, as well as to re-skill and up-skill workers striving to maintain their place in the workforce.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
