The AI-Ready Workforce: Navigating the New Labor Landscape

Employers are seeking candidates with technical and durable skills as artificial intelligence rapidly disrupts the workplace. AI literacy—the ability to understand, utilize, and critically evaluate AI systems—has moved beyond a specialized elective course to a foundational requirement for 21st-century students and workers.  

InnovateEDU led a high-stakes conversation featuring Erin Mote (CEO of InnovateEDU), Matthew Winters (Artificial Intelligence (AI) Educational Specialist at the Utah State Board of Education), Taylor Stockton (Chief Innovation Officer at the Department of Labor), and Nishant Shah (former Senior AI Advisor for the state of Maryland), to explore how leaders can move beyond the hype and into actionable strategies for upskilling and policy alignment. 

Discussion Topics:

  • The intersection of state policy, industry needs, and education in building an AI-ready workforce.

  • How state leaders and industry can collaborate to build a resilient, AI-ready workforce.
