Skills IRL: Transforming Education & Employment | SXSW EDU 2025

Описание: Presented by The University of Phoenix. Join Kent Blumberg, Sara Francois, Freddy Matthew, & Jay Titus. American workers know they need skills to stay ahead, but they don’t see clear pathways or skill development opportunities. Meanwhile, employers are struggling to find well-qualified, skilled external candidates, creating a tension of talent stagnation for both employers and workers. Innovative collaborations of educators and employers help break this tension and close the skills gap. Employers bring their understanding of the skills they need to succeed and educators bring their expertise in skills development. Our panelists will explore what these collaborations look like in the real world.
