AstrumU Forum for Education & Enterprise

The 2023 AstrumU Forum for Education & Enterprise connected thought leaders from education, enterprise, military and government with a DEI focus on career and workforce development that brings the talent to the opportunity.

Historically, we’ve relied on three, static pieces of paper to define an individual: a transcript, a resume and a job description. In order to begin filling the 12 million open recs, we must work together to make the move to skills-based hiring.

Attendees are committed to breaking down workforce barriers through AI and quantitative data that can be leveraged by anyone, but particularly the underserved and underrepresented populations, to answer a simple question: Do I have the necessary skills to succeed in this role, and if not, what can I do about it?

Workforce training can close the gap through certifications, apprenticeships, etc. to upskill individuals into in-demand positions if skills based hiring can be enabled. Using artificial intelligence and data science we can more fully quantify an individual’s learning and working experiences into a richer set of skills.

By transforming an individual from a static 2D-view into a robust 3D-view, we can enable employers to hire based upon skills versus degrees, or other limited signals.
