#219 - Future Workforce Development

What's in this episode? In this episode, we ask the question, what is the role of social impact investing in workforce development? The Edtech Podcast is in conversation with an investor and an analyst tracking the future of workforce development markets. It's a fascinating listen, covering; the gig economy the problem of regional disparity and, the role of technology, including AI in helping us find jobs and thrive once we are in them. As always, we ask how to keep the human element alive in all of this, too. This is the final recording of The VocTech Podcast for 2020. Enjoy! We look forward to bringing you more in 2021.
