About the Episode:
In this bonus episode recorded live at the ASU+GSV summit in San Diego, we chatted with Raghu Krishnaiah from the University of Phoenix about how AI is being used to identify and close skills gaps between education and the workforce. They explore how embedding skills-based learning, aligning employer needs with curriculum, and leveraging data-driven insights can better prepare students—especially working adults—for evolving career demands.
The conversation also highlights broader implications for employers and institutions, emphasizing the need for continuous learning, faster adaptation, and greater collaboration across the ecosystem to ensure individuals aren’t left behind in an AI-driven economy.
