Envisioning the Future: Education and the Workforce in the Age of AI

Educators, employers, workers, and students are invited to join Long Island University's Hudson Graduate Centers for a free one-day symposium where business, schools, government, and cultural organizations will delve into the essential skills, knowledge, and attitudes students require to thrive in today’s and tomorrow’s workforce.

Attendance, breakfast, and lunch are free, but registration is required.

The event will bring together the workforce spectrum – government, business, education, and the nonprofit sector – to learn about each other’s needs and resources, the skills employers will require as they adopt AI, and what the schools need to do now to prepare students to succeed in a dynamically evolving workforce.

New York State Regent Dr. Frances Wills will lead a conversation with New York State Commissioner of Education Betty Rosa, New York State Commissioner of Labor Roberta Reardon.

Jerry Crisci, President of Chestnut Hill Media and former Director of the Center for Innovation and Director of Instructional Technology and Innovation for the Scarsdale Public Schools will lead a presentation and discussion on how AI will revolutionize instructional design and its corresponding impact on the workforce.

The conference will offer panel discussions led by experts in the following areas:

  • Career-Connected Learning
  • Civic Education
  • Cultural Competence in Classrooms and Hiring in the Age of AI
  • The Essential Role of the Arts
  • Critical and Creative Thinking in School and at Work

A bag lunch is included with registration. The lunch hour will also provide an opportunity to engage with Senator Shelly Mayer of New York’s 37th District, allowing participants to discuss significant legislative and policy issues.

The event is free and breakfast and lunch will be served. You can register at envisioningthefuture.eventbrite.com
