💡 We’re excited to be featured in a new report from Future State Ventures! Leveraging AI for Human Potential: Five Labor Market Outcomes for the Undegreed explores different ways AI might impact a crucial segment of the workforce — and highlights how Escalate works with companies to facilitate the upskilling, reskilling and training that’s essential for workforce growth. Check out the full report for deeper insights and recommendations for companies. ⤵️
For the country to remain economically competitive, people of all backgrounds must have opportunities to make significant contributions to our evolving labor market. However, millions of people aren’t able to fully participate and succeed in education, training, and well-paid employment opportunities, partly due to the lack access to transportation, and other conditions for success. Employers have the power to ensure that workers have opportunities to harness all of their talents and thrive at work. We're thrilled to be recognized as an Innovator to Watch in Jobs For the Future's latest report, which explores innovative solutions employers can use to improve and expand the supports they offer employees, particularly those who are disproportionately affected by lack of access to essential supports.

On the latest Trending In Education, I had a fascinating discussion with Sienna Daniel and Sean Segal, co-founders of Escalate, about how they are opening up new skills pathways for often overlooked frontline talent across numerous industries. 🤔💡🚀 Link to the episode is in the Comments. 👇👇👇 We explore how strategic upskilling helps retain frontline workers while opening advancement opportunities to higher-paying roles. Escalate leverages flexible training and AI to help workers gain skills for middle-skill jobs. With an impending labor shortage, tapping overlooked talent pools through internal development is key for companies to grow while delivering on the bottom line. As Sienna explains, there’s a pressing need to fill open middle-skill healthcare, IT and technical jobs that don’t require four-year degrees. Opening career pathways through skills training provides mobility for frontline staff and builds robust talent pipelines. Don't miss this chance to ramp up on emerging workforce trends reshaping opportunities for overlooked workers! Subscribe to Trending in Ed wherever you get your podcasts. Now also on Youtube.
