This session covers reinventing K-12 and higher education to better prepare students for the future of work. Academia and industry panelists discuss challenges in equipping students with human skills like communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. Key solutions include experiential learning, apprenticeships, coaching/mentoring, and adapting organizational culture to leverage new generations' strengths. Three key takeaways are:
<ol>
 	<li>There is a skills gap between traditional education and employer needs like critical thinking and communication.</li>
 	<li>Experiential learning opportunities help provide missing real-world experiences</li>
 	<li>Adapting organizational culture and integrating younger generations through coaching/mentoring is crucial.</li>
</ol>
Partnerships between educators and employers are needed to align curricula with skills-based hiring.

In this session, we will explore these key questions:
<ol>
 	<li>Why apprenticeships?</li>
 	<li>What are the tradeoffs for students and employers?</li>
 	<li>What skills are scarce in the talent pool?</li>
 	<li>How should education and the talent strategy change?</li>
 	<li>How are you approaching problem solving with your students to develop critical thinking and practical skills?</li>
 	<li>What challenges are you seeing in recruits coming out of school in terms of professional skills and workplace readiness?</li>
 	<li>How is your current organizational culture adapting to integrate younger generations and their strengths?</li>
 	<li>How can employers and educators build partnerships to better align curricula with developing skills needed for the future of work?</li>
</ol>

Delivering successful HR tech solutions that don't fail requires building close RELATIONSHIPS and INTEGRATING the IT view into organizational effectiveness interventions.

Accenture

As corporate learning and talent teams explore innovative ways to help support informal learning in their organizations, facilitated book discussions using readily-available online resources can be organized without large budgets.

After conducting quarterly leadership book discussion for two years in Chicago and more recently in Milwaukee, and Indianapolis, we’re excited to announce our first leadership book discussion as a breakout session at this year’s conference.
<ul>
 	<li>The Wisdom of Crowds (2004, James Surowiecki)</li>
 	<li>The Power of We: Succeeding Through Partnerships (2004, Jonathan M. Tisch)</li>
</ul>
Interested in using book discussions in your organization? Here are some lessons learned: 
<ul>
 	<li>Limit sessions to less than two hours, but encourage collaboration and networking time</li>
 	<li>Leverage more engaging small group discussions – allocate 10 minutes at the end of the session for each small group to share with the larger group</li>
 	<li>Recommend book summaries as “optional” – some leaders prefer to read more in-depth</li>
 	<li>Create a regular schedule (e.g., quarterly or monthly) while picking current business book titles that are relevant to the contemporary workplace dynamics</li>
</ul>
