Vocational Paths for the AI Age:

College is no Longer a Career Guarantee

Every day there are more stories about how college degrees don’t offer the job security they once did thanks to the impact of AI. Vocational ed is now in the spotlight as a way to develop stable, successful careers safe from AI job loss.

Join us to learn:

What’s causing the skills gap and why is it disrupting the job market?

Why is career technical education (CTE) in the spotlight?

What can we learn from vocational education programs in the U.S and abroad?

About the Speaker:

Peter Hartzell has developed a passion for supporting the career advancement and economic mobility of all employees. 

Doors will be open at 6 PM for refreshments and opportunities to connect with local CTE leaders and individuals who have succeeded without four-year college degrees.
