Join us for a compelling conversation with Jane Oates, Senior Policy Advisor for WorkingNation, as she recounts her inspiring journey from a classroom teacher to a pivotal figure in the corridors of the U.S. government. Jane's roles with Senator Edward Kennedy and the Obama administration highlight the transformative power of public service. She now dedicates her expertise to bridging the gap between education and employment, sharing insights on embracing opportunities and the varied forms public service can take, including community involvement and volunteering.
We dive into the pressing workforce challenges of our time, reflecting on Jane's experiences during the Great Recession as Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training. As the job market faces the continuous evolution of AI and automation, Jane emphasizes the necessity of lifelong learning and educational curricula that align with the needs of employers. Through engaging stories and expert insights, we explore how educational institutions can adapt and how work-based learning experiences can prepare individuals for the demands of today's dynamic job landscape, with AI playing a key role in broadening access to these opportunities.
