\nHunting for a common thread amid the hype around skills.<\/em><\/p>\n

The glitzy ASU+GSV gathering this week was titled \u201cBrave New World.\u201d But Tim Knowles wanted to talk about 1906.<\/p>\n

That was when the organization Knowles leads, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, created the credit-hour standard. The time has arrived, argue Knowles and\u00a0Amit Sevak, CEO of ETS, to move away from the Carnegie Unit and toward a\u00a0new currency of education based on meaningful skills and accomplishments, demonstrated through assessment.<\/p>\n

Our old way of training Americans for \u2018good jobs\u2019 is past its sell-by date<\/strong><\/a> — from workshift.opencampusmedia.org by JB Holston
\nWe\u2019re at a pivot point in education and workforce development. Employers in the U.S. and its allies have an opportunity to accelerate their economies by collaborating to scale new pathways to prosperity. They need to seize that opportunity, writes JB Holston, former CEO of the Greater Washington Partnership.<\/em><\/p>\n

The country is at a pivot point. COVID\u2019s acceleration of remote work and training; an increased dedication to inclusion, equity, and diversity since the murder of George Floyd; the inexorable pace of technological change; and America\u2019s new, well-funded\u00a0industrial policy\u00a0have created an opportunity for the most significant re-set in the relationship between employers and our education systems in the last 150 years.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The old path to family-supporting career positions\u2014which depended on large employers recruiting graduates from a small universe of ranked colleges whose education stopped with that degree\u2014is past its sell-by date.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

AI in Hiring and Evaluating Workers: What Americans Think<\/strong><\/a> — from pewresearch.org by Lee Rainie, Monica Anderson, Colleen McClain, Emily A. Vogels, and Risa Gelles-Watnick
\n62% believe artificial intelligence will have a major impact on jobholders overall in the next 20 years, but far fewer think it will greatly affect them personally. People are generally wary and uncertain of AI being used in hiring and assessing workers<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

A new Pew Research Center survey finds crosscurrents in the public\u2019s opinions as they look at the possible uses of AI in workplaces. Americans are wary and sometimes worried. For instance, they oppose AI use in making final hiring decisions by a 71%-7% margin, and a majority also opposes AI analysis being used in making firing decisions. Pluralities oppose AI use in reviewing job applications and in determining whether a worker should be promoted. Beyond that, majorities do not support the idea of AI systems being used to track workers\u2019 movements while they are at work or keeping track of when office workers are at their desks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
