In partnership with Arnold Ventures, we are proud to release the fourth brief in our ongoing Pathways Policies That Work series, Finding Ladders in the Age of AI: How State Policymakers Can Identify Pathways to In-Demand Jobs in an AI Economy.
Career pathways initiatives connect education and workforce systems to prepare students for college, career and economic mobility. These programs are growing in popularity in states across the country, but they are preparing students for a labor market that is rapidly changing with AI.
State policymakers therefore need to identify the occupations likely to provide economic mobility for students in an AI-infused economy. Fortunately, state policymakers already have the tools to identify these jobs; most just are not yet fully using them to meet the current moment.
Education First recommends that states incorporate a “career ladder” framework to identify priority occupations in an AI economy.
