There are many unknowns when it comes to the future of work. Automation, technological advances, and shifting demands in our economy mean there are jobs that are being displaced and jobs that don’t even exist yet. One further challenge feeding into this changing and uncertain future is a workforce that may lack skillsets aligned to the demands of a new landscape. Without paying special attention to equity of access and existing barriers, policymakers and education institutions run the risk of creating a workforce that is unable to meet the demands of the day.
