Synopsis:

Employers are looking for job-ready students with hands-on experience for tomorrow’s workforce. During this webinar you will learn about how reality-based, future-ready education approaches can help students develop true work-based skills and capabilities.

Dr. Abdullah and Ian will share about their approach to offering realism-based training to reshape skill development, why failure is valuable workforce data, and how educators and employers can integrate controlled realism into their curriculum and teaching. Rita will share a blueprint for integrating "Future-Ready" skills into existing academic frameworks, helping K-12 students prepare for the immediate workforce reality: Cloud Security and Generative AI.
