Join us for an insightful event where we explore the most in-demand skills based on job postings data from Lightcast. We’ll review top hard, soft, and software skills, projected skill growth, and key findings from related reports. Discover the importance of addressing skill gaps in the workplace, the rise of skills-based hiring, and the diverse landscape of skills training providers. Finally, we’ll delve into how this data can be applied to Next-Gen K-State’s focus areas—community health & well-being, sustainability, global food security and biosecurity, and enabling technologies—by aligning curriculum, developing learning opportunities and partnerships, and considering skills-based microcredentials. There will be time for Q&A.
