Welcome to the podcast that bridges the gap between today's classroom and tomorrow's workforce.

In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping every industry, educators, students, and families are asking critical questions: How do we prepare for jobs that don't yet exist? What skills will matter most in an AI-driven economy? How do we balance human creativity with technological capability?

• Educational leaders pioneering AI integration in schools
• Industry experts sharing what they're really looking for in new hires
