Today, in-demand skills are evolving faster than ever. Over the past three years, one-third of the skills required for the average job have changed—transforming industries, disrupting talent pipelines, and challenging educators and policymakers to keep up. This webinar, based on findings from our recent report, The Speed of Skill Change, explores how colleges and universities are responding to these trends, and offers actionable strategies to stay ahead.
