In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, we're talking artificial intelligence and education with Rohit Sharma of ETS and John Fillmore of Chegg. For the past few months, we've been hearing that artificial intelligence and machine learning could transform nearly every job on the planet. With the introduction and popularity of ChatGPT, it feels like that transformation might be coming very quickly – some think it might be too quickly. Last month in San Diego, I attended the annual

In this Work in Progress podcast, we take a look at obstacles workers 55 and older face in today's labor market. The reality is that older adults do face discrimination in society and the workforce. Older workers – particularly older women of color – have been shut out of job opportunities and, as a result, live with increased economic uncertainty. We need to start changing the narrative around how we look at these workers. We need to examine how we are accelerating opportunity for older

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, we return to Austin to bring you another panel from the SXSW EDU conference earlier this month. Today, 65% of jobs require some education beyond high school. In the U.S., 62% of working-age adults do not have a degree. Together, these numbers illustrate why we have a skills gap; we need to help more Americans upskill to find sustainable employment. This demands coordination among education providers, employers and policy makers

A four-year college degree can be a ticket to a good job and a great career, but it's not for everyone. In fact, it's not for most workers. More than half of U.S. workers do not have a four-year
