Lost in Transition: Preparing K-12 Students for Jobs That Don't Exist Yet
Date & Time: Wednesday, October 15th at 2 p.m. ET
By 2030, 65% of the skills that students need for today's jobs will change. However, too many learners leave high school without a clear pathway forward, with the U.S. economy losing $1.1 trillion annually from delays between learning and earning.
But K–12 leaders can change that.
In this 30-minute Ed Talk, career readiness and CTE experts will explore these and other critical data points from Pearson's Lost in Transition report to show how district leaders can prepare students for the workforce with skills that will last them a lifetime—even for jobs that may not exist today.
Explore how schools and districts can:
- Equip students with learning-to-learn skills that last a lifetime
- Build flexible, career-connected pathways across AP, Dual Enrollment, and CTE
- Use data and partnerships to prepare students for jobs that don't yet exist
- Turn high school into a launchpad for identity, purpose, and possibility
