Powerful technologies, such as artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, and the internet of things, are disrupting the nature of work and reshaping the landscape of jobs. New forms of learning, skills assessments, and job training are exposing pitfalls of traditional degree-centric requirements in tech hiring. The approach to developing and sustaining talent supply chain must change. This UKC 2023 Keynote Symposium explores convergent perspectives on education and workforce development. Experts and stakeholders are invited to offer insights on how the benefits of emerging technology can be leveraged to equitably impact current and future workforce.
