SUMMARY:Employability: A National Imperative
DESCRIPTION:In association with the Commission on Higher Education & Employability\, NEBHE held its Employability: A National Imperative summit on Monday\, Dec. 4\, 2017 at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. \nExpert speakers explored these and other pressing questions… \n\nWhat kinds of jobs will be eliminated by the rise of analytics\, automation and artificial intelligence? What kinds will be created?\nWill higher education be able to innovate new roles to ensure that grads are “career ready”?\nCan “People Analytics” help job applicants and employers speak the same language?\nHow will we bridge the “employability gap” facing students who lack the competencies to navigate successful and long-lasting careers\n\nOur feedback suggests the conference was a great success\, from the engaging discussion during plenary and concurrent sessions to the comments shared throughout the day. We are pleased the conference appeared to bring together the right people and provided an opportunity for you to share your thoughts\, questions and expertise. \n\nVideo: Highlights\nWelcome from Gina M.
