This roundtable discussion covers why skills-first thinking is on the rise!
For over a decade, LinkedIn has brought together talent leaders from all over the world to discuss the future of work at #TalentConnect. This year, at the dawn of the age of AI, the conversation carried added significance because those in attendance are in a position to truly shape where the world of work goes next. Every system that exists around employment and entrepreneurship was built by people just like us, including the ones we inherited in our time. And just like those systems, the new systems required to meet the changing demands of work from AI, will be built by people too - people like those who were at Talent Connect, who I know first-hand are committed to bringing the right intent so that we build to the right outcomes - a world of work that expands economic opportunity to more people in more places than ever before. It was clear all week that skills-first thinking is at the heart of that. And, given that, I’m excited to be part of a brand new LinkedIn Learning course with some of the experts leading the way here: Teuila Hanson, Chief People Officer at LinkedIn, Jessica Muench, Chief DEI Officer at United Airlines, Cat Ward, VP of Employer Mobilization at Jobs for the Future (JFF), Elyse Rosenblum, Founder and Managing Partner at Grads of Life and Shad Ahmed, Chief Operating Officer at Opportunity@Work. This roundtable discussion covers why skills-first thinking is on the rise, what challenges it may present for business leaders, and how a skills-first model can unlock opportunity and advance DEI strategies.
