The future of work is here, and it’s evolving faster than ever. Are we equipping learners with the skills they need to thrive? Join us at the Open edX Conference 2025 in Paris on Thursday, July 3rd at 10am (WEST) for a crucial keynote panel discussion: “Upskilling for the Future: Navigating the Age of Technological Disruption.”
This isn’t just another panel; it’s a vital conversation about one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the widening skills gap. As technology advances at breakneck speed, the demand for new skills is outpacing the supply. This panel will delve into the latest research, including insights from the World Economic Forum, to understand the evolving landscape of the job market and what it means for learners and educators alike.
We’ll be exploring key questions that are top-of-mind for the Open edX community:
- How can we effectively identify and develop the in-demand skills of tomorrow?
- What strategies can we implement to ensure upskilling and reskilling pathways are accessible and equitable for all learners?
- How can we leverage the power of technology, including the Open edX platform, to personalize learning experiences and deliver targeted upskilling at scale?
- How do we foster a culture of lifelong learning that empowers individuals to adapt and thrive in a constantly changing world?
This powerhouse panel brings together leading voices from across education, industry, and international organizations. Moderated by Stephanie Khurana (CEO Axim Collaborative), we’re thrilled to feature Dr. Courtney Hills McBeth (Western Governors University), Dimitris Bertsimas (MIT), Ved Mani Tiwari (NSDC), and Borhene Chakroun (UNESCO). Their diverse perspectives will provide a rich and insightful discussion you won’t want to miss.
This is your opportunity to engage with thought leaders, share your own experiences, and contribute to shaping the future of skills development. We look forward to seeing you in Paris! Register here to secure your seat.
