The world of work is changing, and traditional career pathways are too. What does this mean for students and career exploration? This interactive workshop will provide hands-on experience in using new technologies and human centered design hand-in-hand to lead to deeper, more actionable insights in Career and Technical Education program design and implementation to help move collective strategies forward.
The world of work is changing, and traditional career pathways along with it. Where can we use technology differently to organize ideas, identify partners, and move collective strategies forward in Career and Technical Education? In this interactive workshop, participants will have the opportunity to explore strengths and challenges that consortia are experiencing around topics of their choosing (such as AI and emerging technology, CTE educator recruitment and credentialing, student performance gaps, and more) and create a “mini action plan” to move forward. RealTime Talent will facilitate the group through use of a live polling platform, generative AI tools geared toward career exploration, and the process of Focused Conversation to provide participants with deeper insights about the future of CTE and a set of practical tools to take back to their own consortium teams.
You'll leave this session knowing how to:- Explore common strengths and challenges faced by Minnesota CTE Consortia with regard to the future of work
- Identify promising practices for improvement of CTE planning
- Experiment with live polling software, generative AI career navigation tools, and an interactive facilitated approach to collaborative action planning
