After the COVID pandemic, the US racial reckoning, and the great resignation, what is the state of higher education and hiring? Global and national forces have impacted both higher education and employers in new ways. Technology has changed how people learn and how they job search. Student debt is a constant topic in the news. How can institutions of higher education and employers prepare for whatever the future may bring next? Do we know what that future might look like? A panel of leaders in higher education, human resources, and state government will discuss these questions and more!
