Bridging the AI Divide: Preparing the Future Workforce Using Experiential Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the modern workforce, creating challenges and unprecedented opportunities for emerging professionals. The elimination of entry-level roles is raising the bar for skills and experience required to enter the job market. As a result, new and returning professionals are struggling to gain a foothold. Colleges and universities are uniquely positioned to lead a transformation to address this growing divide. The AI Readiness Consortium supports institutions in building scalable infrastructure to equip students with the tools and experiences they need to succeed. Speakers will share how consortium institutions are creating scalable infrastructure that connects students with meaningful AI experiences across disciplines. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to implement AI-powered experiential learning on their own campuses.
