The Grand Challenge of Reskilling America

Dr. Angela Jackson (New Profit), Sara Jacobs, Sammy Totah (Kaiser Permanente), Peter Callstrom (San Diego Workforce Partnership), and Ramona Schindelheim (WorkingNation) discuss The Grand Challenge of Reskilling America at the 2021 ASU+GSV Summit.New Profit launched the Future of Work Grand Challenge a year ago in partnership with XPRIZE, MIT Solve, and JFF. The cross-sector, equity-focused effort aims to rapidly reskill 25,000 displaced workers into higher-wage jobs in the next 24 months and equip influential workforce boards with vetted tools to support the wave of displaced workers across the U.S. During this panel, our speakers will highlight their own insights on the Future of Work from a San Diego perspective along with sharing the Future of Work Grand Challenge's efforts to upskill San Diegans for new collar jobs.
