Future of Education and Work

As technology rapidly reshapes how billions of people around the world live, learn, and work, education and workforce systems are not fully keeping pace with the skills and opportunities needed for the future—leaving many underprepared to achieve economic mobility and reach their full potential.

How do we ensure that today’s learners and leaders are not only prepared for a tech-driven economy but also have access to education, technology, and opportunities that enable them to thrive now and in the future?
