Thank you to Alex Kotran and Christian Pinedo from aiEDU.org for joining the CareerVillage.org team this week on an insightful conversation about the intersection of #AI, #education, and the #workforce!  ➡️ Top 3 takeaways: 1️⃣ AI is already dramatically reshaping the workforce. AI will continue to shape industries, job markets, and education. The changed nature of work will lead to a restructuring of how jobs are perceived and pursued. 2️⃣ Preparing students and workers for this new world of work is becoming an increasingly urgent challenge. Traditional white-collar jobs, which have been seen as aspirational career paths, may be among the most vulnerable to AI automation in the coming years. People will need to consider (and they'll need the tools to help them! 🛠️) the rapidly evolving workforce landscape when making career decisions. 3️⃣ Students, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, MUST be engaged in this conversation! AI literacy and readiness are vital. Educating students about AI’s capabilities and limitations is crucial for their future career success. We must encourage parents, educators, coaches, counselors, and others to raise and discuss these topics. We don’t have all the answers, but we can learn together. 🌱 Thank you again to aiEDU.org for speaking with our team!🙌  We're re-sharing one of the mind-blowing videos that Alex shared with us ft. the Figure 01 robot from Figure. https://lnkd.in/eskwGZru

Our Founder and Executive Director, Aly Murray, participated in a thought-provoking panel this morning hosted by the Atlassian Foundation. The panel highlighted the transformative potential of cutting-edge technologies like AI in creating equitable educational opportunities for underserved students. 💻 Aly was joined by fellow change-makers from CareerVillage.org and Code.org to discuss how we're collectively leveraging technology to break down barriers and democratize access to high-quality academic support.  Together, we’re shaping a future where every student, regardless of their background, has the tools to succeed! 📚🚀

How are nonprofit leaders thinking about AI as a lever for advancing their missions — and where should organizations start? 🤔 To find out, we asked Jina Krause-Vilmar of Upwardly Global, Jared Chung of CareerVillage.org, and Layla O'Kane of Opportunity@Work. Here’s what they had to say:
