According to the Association for Talent Development’s chair, Tara Deakin, also head of talent and organization effectiveness at TD Bank Group, the three most critical competencies of 2030 will be learning agility, career dexterity and resilience, and digital and data fluency. Artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality is transforming the learning landscape into something only witnessed in futuristic Hollywood movies. Nearly 100% of employee roles will require some form of technology by the year 2030. Northeastern University President Joseph Aoun addresses just that in his book “Robot-Proof: Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” Aoun states that, “the existing model of higher education has yet to adapt to the seismic shifts […] in the global economy.” Likely, that is true for secondary education as well. School districts with coding, Career and Technical Education, and Project Lead the Way curriculum give students an advantage over their same aged peers in districts without those offerings.
