In this episode of Work in Progress, I'm joined by Jamie Merisotis, president & CEO of Lumina Foundation, to discuss the foundation's goal to help more Americans obtain a credential beyond high school, one that leads to lifelong economic stability and prosperity. One of the core principals of Lumina Foundation's mission is the idea that "education should remain accessible, valuable, and align with today's workforce needs." In 2008, Lumina set a goal of 60% of working-age adults with college degrees, certificates, or industry-recognized certifications by 2025. Today, the number of adults with one of those credentials of value has risen from 38% to 55%. "It's one of the greatest social progress examples that we can see in the last 20 years," says Merisotis. "That's led to literally millions of adults being able to get more education training, get new and better jobs in their field, earn more money, and, in general, become better citizens and participants in their community." While Lumina celebrates the progress made over the last two decades, Merisotis says the demand for talent in the American labor force has never been higher, with most jobs soon requiring some form of post-high school credential. He points to several studies, including one from Georgetown University forecasting that 72% of jobs by 2031 will require a post-high school credential of some type. So, Lumina has set a new goal: 75% of adults with a credential of value by 2040. Whether its a college degree or an industry-recognized credential, it needs to ultimately lead to a career with financial stability. Lumina's new goal focuses on increasing access, completion, and ensuring credentials have real value in terms of higher wages, career growth, and adaptability. "The truth is you do earn more and you have more stability and greater long-term security and ultimately prosperity if you get higher credentials. But it doesn't mean that everyone should start aspiring to a bachelor's degree. It could be that they need this industry-recognized credential to get them into the labor force or to get them onto the ladder of opportunity. "What's really important, in our view, is that people are able to earn family-sustaining wages that allow them to have stability in their lives, but that also gives them a chance to continue to grow. "We believe that these shorter term credentials, the quality ones, certainly do provide that. The ones that add the wage benefits, et cetera, do that. And at the same time, they create pathways for further learning, which leads to greater advancement," Merisotis tells me. In the podcast, we discuss some of the challenges that still exist for Americans trying to obtain those credentials that lead to economic prosperity. "Access is a combination of things. It's like a three-legged stool of things that create barriers to access – finance, social, and academic. We tend to focus a lot on the finance side – because costs are high – but we tend not to focus on the real-life circumstances of the students or their shortcomings academically. "For these students who are low-income, or rural, or coming from communities of color, creating more assurance that the process itself is simpler and easier for them to get through, so that admissions isn't difficult, is really important." Merisotis says that for students who feel marginalized, there needs to be more awareness that there is tutoring, mentoring, and other supports that provide "opportunities for them to be successful when they get in, but also to help them get through." Merisotis and I also go deeper into what makes a credential valuable in today's workforce – yes, we do talk about AI – and how Lumina Foundation intends to achieve its goal of 75% of working-age adults having those credentials in our conversation. I encourage you to listen! You can listen to the podcast here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Are robots really taking our jobs?, with Jamie Merisotis Up next ►► What skills will set you apart in the age of automation?   • What skills will set you apart in the...   Are the robots coming for our jobs? Not for those with the training and skills needed in today's economy. And in nearly all cases, that means the people with education beyond high school. We know that artificial intelligence will replace repetitive jobs. But in most cases, new technology will help us create more jobs that only humans can do. And those jobs overwhelmingly go to people with a degree, certificate, industry-recognized certification, or similar credential. Lumina Foundation helps advance policies that make post-high school education more available to all. The foundation has embraced a national goal of ensuring that 60 percent of Americans earn a high quality credential beyond high school by 2025. This video was created in partnership with Lumina Foundation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Jamie Merisotis: Jamie Merisotis, an international leader in higher education, human work, philanthropy, and public policy, has been Lumina's president and CEO since 2008.

Twenty-first century automation is fueling an ongoing debate around the future of work. Is the end to human labor around the corner? Will robots replace us? The short answer is no. The longer answer is that work is changing fast and will likely require the capacity to adapt and constant upgrading of skills. In this episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/hardly-working-podcast/?mkt_tok=NDc1LVBCUS05NzEAAAF9KfTfNiRkR7JCXOsJvRbevxCO3nMl-XtXSqF54YBAEANboiUHrALvJArF5D8iy0z5tTXHNqErpnP_a2ax6Fc ("Hardly Working"), I was joined by https://www.jamiemerisotis.com/jamie-merisotis/ (Jamie Merisotis), president and CEO of the Lumina Foundation to discuss what automation means for work.

It's Global Skills Day 2021, a worldwide virtual gathering of hundreds of speakers from 25 countries—from nonprofits, educators, nonprofits, jobseekers, and more—all focused on creating strategies for learning crucial 21st Century skills in a post-pandemic world. My guests today on this episode of Work in Progress podcast are two of the people I respect the most on the subject of the intersection of education, skills development, and work—Jamie Merisotis, president and CEO of Lumina Foundation and the closing keynote speaker at Global Skills Day 2021, and our own Jane Oates, president of WorkingNation. The COVID-19 crisis exposed a lot of issues in the way we prepare our workforce—young or old—for the skills they need today to get a good-paying job. There are challenges, but there are opportunities. Both Merisotis and Oates are in agreement—first off, we have to tear down the false divide between learning and work that has existed for so long. "Learning and work have to be talked about as seamless parts of one whole. In other words, the intersection of learning and work is not something that you should be talking about in distinct sections. They have to come together...at this inflection point for society," says Merisotis. Merisotis adds that the pandemic may actually be an opportunity to reset the conversation, In particular, he says, we need to "talk about how the pandemic has accelerated some of the trends around how technology is changing both work and learning, about how, in fact, we need to focus more on equity when it comes to these issues of bringing work and learning together." "There's a terrific concentration now, a drum beat on equity," says Oates. "I also think it's a business reality right now, that sense of urgency business has that feeling. It's not just people in the communities of color, it's not just women, it's not just people looking for social justice. She points out there is a gigantic need for talent in our economy right now with more than nine million jobs going unfilled. "People are saying, 'We cannot find the talent that we need,' and they're reframing the conversation around skills." One of the questions being discussed today in the virtual gathering is how does a jobseeker signal to employers the skills they have, especially when not everyone agrees on what that signal should look like. "The best way to demonstrate skills is with a credential," says Merisotis. "The problem, I think, is that the people pushing back on the credentials are really pushing back on bachelor's degrees. I think it's that credential that they're pushing back on. "Most employers do not have the capacity of a Google or a PWC to assess skills in a way that they can do massive hiring in the way that large employers can. Most employers are small and medium-sized employers, they need to know that people know and can do certain things. And the workforce training certificate, the associate degree, whatever the credential is, is going to continue to be important." Oates and Merisotis say an important public policy discussion needs to be had around what's behind those credentials and how do we know that people have actually gotten something out of it? "If a credential doesn't have a valid assessment—if you just get a piece of paper for being in a seat for amount of time—you don't have the skills necessary for that job. And whether it's a blue collar job or a white collar job, really doesn't matter," says Oates. "I think where the bachelor's degree has been important to employers is that it's proof that you have an ability to persist and learn. It doesn't necessarily talk about your specifics, unless you're a nurse getting state licensed or a teacher getting state licensed about the specificity of your skills, but it gives you a very general look that this person can stick to it, do a two or four year degree and graduate," she adds. In the podcast,

College has never been less affordable than it is now; financial aid hasn't kept pace with economic need; what students get in the end is still cloudy. However, without some type of higher education, Jamie believes economic mobility is hindered significantly. Jamie also discusses his book, "Human Work In The Age Of Smart Machines", and higher ed's responsibility to prepare people for work that ONLY humans can do. Don't miss this episode!

“We know from history that technology both creates and destroys jobs, and we don’t know what will happen this time around,” says Jamie Merisotis, author of the new book Human Work in the Age of Machines, “but I do think we should be more interested in the work that humans can do, because that is clearly something we can control by better preparing people for that human work.” That preparation needs to focus on nurturing “foundational human capabilities” that set us apart from machines – compassion, empathy, ethics and creativity to name a few. As he reveals in his book, Merisotis believes the end result can be a collaborative relationship between workers and technology. As President and CEO of Lumina Foundation, Merisotis has been a driving force in increasing access to post-secondary education not only for its economic benefits but because of the role education plays in cultivating the critical thinking essential to a functioning democratic society. Check out this revealing conversation with Futuro Health CEO Van Ton-Quinlivan about rethinking how we can restructure education, work and benefits to better meet the challenges and opportunities upon us.

As computer technology advances with dizzying speed, human workers face an ever-increasing threat of obsolescence. In Human Work In the Age of Smart Machines, Jamie Merisotis argues that we can—and must—rise to this challenge by preparing to work alongside smart machines doing that which only humans can: thinking critically, reasoning ethically, interacting interpersonally, and serving others with empathy. The president and CEO of Lumina Foundation, Merisotis offers a roadmap for the large-scale, radical changes we must make in order to find abundant and meaningful work for ourselves in the 21st century. His vision centers on developing our unique capabilities as humans through learning opportunities that deliver fair results and offer a broad range of credentials. By challenging long-held assumptions and expanding our concept of work, Merisotis argues that we can harness the population’s potential, encourage a deeper sense of community, and erase a centuries-long system of inequality. Special Guest: Jamie Wright.

As AI and automation take on more and more sophisticated tasks, being human can look like a career liability. But not when you consider inherent advantages like our capacity to collaborate, create, and think critically. Jamie Merisotis, President and CEO of the Lumina Foundation and author of the new book Human Work in the Age of Smart Machines, explains the emerging ecosystem of jobs and how employers, educators, government, and the social sector can help workers prepare.

The current higher education climate seems bleak with nationally declining enrollment, especially among the poorest and most vulnerable students. The declines are especially concerning at community colleges, which traditionally sees an increase in enrollment as unemployed people return to school to learn new skills. Instead, students are working full time or pushing off college dreams. Meanwhile, others are questioning the value of the degree as they pay large amounts for a much more restricted college experience online.Archie Holmes, executive vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Texas System, and Jamie Merisotis, president and CEO of the Lumina Foundation, both told Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith that higher education remains vital to boost social mobility and train the next generation of workers. But there are ways the sector can improve to serve students with stronger quality online courses, they said. Merisotis also argued higher education needs to capitalize on building important skills like collaboration and empathy. Holmes said schools need to reinforce efforts to boost the number of students who actually complete their degree so they leave college able to earn enough to pay off student loans. But both hesitated to endorse free community college as the panacea that will solve the nation's student debt crisis. — Kate McGeeThis session is supported by Texas State Technical College, McCombs School of Business and Texas Association of Community Colleges.

COVID-19 swept through some colleges and universities this fall as schools reopened with a variety of approaches. Beyond the headlines, however, higher education and post-secondary training have been profoundly affected by the pandemic in other ways. Our two guests on this podcast fill us in on the challenges ahead and the role legislators will play in dealing with state colleges and universities. Our first guest is Jamie Merisotis, president and CEO of the Lumina Foundation, a private foundation that is a major player in supporting efforts to expand higher education and post-secondary learning. He discusses how the pandemic has affected the world of higher education, how it has laid bare the need for more post-secondary training and how legislators can play a role. Our second guest is Scott Jaschik, editor of the news website Inside Higher Ed. Jaschik gives us an up-to-date assessment of reopening efforts at colleges and universities around the country and discusses the fiscal landscape state legislators will face in the wake of the pandemic.         Resources Inside Higher Ed Lumina Foundation OAS Episode 111 Transcription

This week, Tom is sitting down with the president and CEO of Lumina Foundation, Jamie Merisotis. Jamie is a globally-recognized leader in philanthropy, education, and public policy. Jamie’s foundation, Lumina Foundation, is committed to making opportunities for learning beyond high school available to all. They envision a system that is easy to navigate, delivers fair results, and meets the nation’s need for talent through a broad range of credentials. In this episode, Jamie discusses his newest book, Human Work in the Age of Smart Machines. In his book, Jamie makes that case that the question is not, “What is the future of work?” but, “What is the work of the future?” Jamie and Tom discuss the new paradigm of work (one that consists of learning, earning, and serving), the importance of shifting to a model of teaching and learning about the skills and traits that are uniquely human, and how we can keep equity in the forefront in working toward building a credentialing system that works for everyone.   Key Takeaways: [:10] About today’s episode with Jamie Merisotis. [:43] Tom welcomes Jamie Merisotis to the podcast. [1:07] Jamie has been in the postsecondary policy space for about 30 years. At a young age, he ran a national commission on financing a postsecondary. He shares about how he landed this job and what the experience was like. [3:26] How this commission helped springboard Jamie into co-founding the Institute for Higher Education Policy in 1993. [4:40] In 2008, Jamie joined the Lumina Foundation as the President and CEO. He shares why he was interested in this opportunity. [6:58] Jamie speaks about the work they’re doing at Lumina Foundation with policy advocacy, new learning models, competency-based learning, and impact investing. Jamie elaborates on impact investing as an emerging strategy. [8:59] Jamie highlights some of the major changes he has seen in education since publishing his last book, America Needs Talent: Attracting, Educating & Deploying the 21st-Century Workforce, as well the key observations that led to his newest book, Human Work in the Age of Smart Machines. [13:05] The second chapter in Human Work in the Age of Smart Machines makes the case for the work that only humans can do which blends traits such as compassion, empathy, and ethics; developed skills for problem-solving, and integrative skills. Would Jamie agree that this could also be the summary of a new outcomes framework for learning institutions? [15:53] A core insight from Jamie’s book is that the new paradigm of human work is learning, earning, and serving. He elaborates on what this means and why it is important. [18:10] Jamie’s book challenges the traditional academic disdain for the workplace. It reads, “Our education system does not do a good job of developing skills that human work requires, in large part because we’re often divorced from the settings where human work is actually performed.” Jamie elaborates on this and shares his thoughts on how we can better integrate work and learning. [22:35] The importance of shifting to a model of teaching and learning about the skills and traits that are uniquely human. [25:05] How a transparent system of credentialing could be a part of how learning institutions and work environments connect. Jamie also speaks about how we can get better at credentialing in general (and, in particular, for the skills that matter the most). [27:01] Jamie points to the Europass system as a comprehensive and dynamic system. Should we be aiming for this in America? [28:28] The importance of keeping equity in the forefront to build credentialing systems that work for everybody. [31:12] Jamie closes out with a few thoughts on revolutionizing democratic society. He describes the connection between his view of human work and the contribution that it can make to strengthening a democratic society. [34:33] Tom thanks Jamie for his new book and for imparting his wisdom on the podcast!   Mentioned in This Episode: Jamie Merisotis Lumina Foundation Human Work in the Age of Smart Machines, by Jamie Merisotis Difference Making at the Heart of Learning: Students, Schools, and Communities Alive With Possibility, by Tom Vander Ark and Emily Liebtag Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) America Needs Talent: Attracting, Educating & Deploying the 21st-Century Workforce, by Jamie Merisotis Getting Smart Podcast Ep. 273: “Conrad Wolfram on Computational Thinking” The Math(s) Fix: An Education Blueprint for the AI Age, by Conrad Wolfram Cobots CEW Georgetown — Center on Education and the Workforce World Values Survey (WVS Database) Getting Smart Podcast Ep. 229: “Eric Williams on Empowering Students to Make a Contribution”   Get Involved: Check out the blog at GettingSmart.com.

“The role of workers in being transformed by automation and artificial intelligence.” This could sound like a dire warning about the future of work. Instead, Jamie Merisotis, president and CEO of Lumina Foundation, issues it as a challenge. A challenge that we can—and must—rise to. “There’s been a lot of discussion about whether or not […] The post The shift toward human work and what it means for society appeared first on WorkingNation.
