Workforce 2030 – The Future of America’s Workforce and How Educators Can Get Ready

The changes in our workforce through automation, artificial intelligence and 24-7 connectivity are accelerating. What careers will be replaced by technology and how will all work be transformed through technology? Most importantly, what kind of learning, communications, problem-solving and technology skills will individuals need to enter the workforce and keep pace with the changes? Finally, what does this mean for education – both programs, educators and the way education is organized and delivered? Hans Meeder, noted author, podcaster, education leader, and a former official at the U.S. Department of Education, will explain what scenarios are most likely and how to prepare for them, today.

Leadership 360: Leading Yourself, Leading from the Middle, Leading Change

Leadership is demanding and requires both internal maturity and fortitude which builds the capacity to influence and lead others. Leadership is particularly challenging in the realm of Career Connected Learning, because leaders must successfully navigate and influence between several strands of endeavor, including general education reform, postsecondary education and training, workforce development, economic development, and employer and community partnerships.

In the keynote address, Hans Meeder explains his Leadership Framework:
• Developing Your Personal Leadership Core,
• Learning how to Lead through Influence, and
• Leading and Sustaining Operational and Organizational Change.

Preparing our Students for the Future with Career Connected Learning

Career Connected Learning (CCL) is a mindset shift in education and a realm of interconnected strategies to bring real-world relevance and powerful learning experiences into American schools and colleges. In this talk, Hans Meeder explains why America’s education system is still leaving too many children ill-prepared to make successful transitions to further education and careers, and how this design flaw in education puts the American economy and social fabric at risk. It is a call-to-action for state and local leaders to redesign education to value and incorporate Career Connected Learning at all levels of education, led through regional partnerships, and supported by smart state and federal policy
solutions.
