Profound changes are already affecting our workforce and economy, including globalization, automation, and artificial intelligence. We need to adapt to these changes by adequately investing in the education and training of our workers, because we’re far behind where we need to be.  \n• It’s not that robots are taking all of the jobs, it’s that wearen’t investing in people so they can develop the skills they’ll need for the jobs that are being created now.  \n• Consider this: By 2022, automation will create 58 million more skilled jobs than it eliminates.  \n• The operative word here? Skilled jobs. For our nation to thrive in today’s global economy and prepare for the future of work, we must help everyone, and especially low-wage workers, develop their talent so they can move up in the labor force and fill the jobs of the future.  \nThe solution  \nTo truly thrive in the emerging world of work, America must dramatically increase the number of people with education and skills beyond high school. That doesn’t mean everyone need attend a traditional, four-year college; infact, we must dispel that “bachelor’s or bust” mentality. Intoday’s economy, there are many credentials that are valuable to employers and workers. These include not just master’s and bachelor’s degrees, but also certificates, certifications, licenses, and badges, to name a few. All credentials, including degrees, must be intentionally designed with the needs of a changing workplace in mind.  \nMillions more Americans will need education beyond highschool so they can develop the skills they need to succeed intoday’s economy and thrive in tomorrow’s workplace. Here are four things that higher education, employers, and policymakers must do to help Americans win the future of work:  \n1. Create flexible, affordable occupational credentialing programs that lead not just to jobs, but to more opportunities to learn.  \n2. Forge more partnerships between companies and  \neducation and training providers to ensure industries have enough employees with the knowledge and skills necessary to find success in work and life.  \n3. Build new tools that help people navigate the education, training, and career pathways available to pursue after high school.  \n4. Improve the quality and accessibility of information about future workforce needs, especially as demand grows for professional credentials.  \nOur shared responsibility  \nWe all have a role to play in ensuring that everyone has an opportunity in today’s economy and can secure a place in the future of work. For example:  \n• Policymakers must stimulate investments in education and training.  \n• Workers must make informed choices about the skills and credentials that help them get ahead.  \n• Employers must better communicate what those skills and credentials are, and which ones are most valuable.  \n• They must also continue to increase their investmentsin human capital. Ongoing education and training opportunities, once reserved for the C-Suite, are increasingly available to all kinds of workers—and that is a positive sign.  \n• Employers should work to create innovative partnerships, ones in which firms collaborate rather than compete to build education and training programs that will fuel the talent pipeline.  \n• Employers and education providers must work together to build career pathways that make the system work for people, not against them.  \n• Every higher education institution—including research universities, colleges, community colleges, and training providers—must create affordable and flexible opportunities for workers to develop those skills and earn quality credentials.  \n• As credentials become the currency of the talent economy, we must ensure they clearly signal what workers know and can d","cbCainuMofbUOSHi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainuMofbUOSHi","pdf",104633,"English","# The problem\n## The solution\n# Our shared responsibility\n# The research shows","[{\"question\":\"Why does the document say the future of work already affects today’s workforce?\",\"answer\":\"It points to globalization, automation, and artificial intelligence as already changing the workforce and economy, requiring adaptation through better education and training.\"},{\"question\":\"What credentials does the document recommend beyond traditional four-year college?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends multiple credential types valued by employers, including certificates, certifications, licenses, and badges, designed for a changing workplace rather than relying on degrees alone.\"},{\"question\":\"What major research challenges does the document highlight about workforce preparedness?\",\"answer\":\"It reports survey findings showing that fewer than half of students feel skilled for job transitions and that there is a perception gap between students and employers regarding professionalism, work ethic, and preparedness.\"}]","The Future of Work Demands High-Quality Education Beyond High School | PDF",1792051335]
