Technology Literacy for the Future Workforce
Technology Literacy for the Future Workforce
Higher education technology professionals are increasingly being asked to upskill in areas including AI, data, and relational communication to serve key institutional priorities and support student success. Balancing professional development and future workforce capacity with change fatigue and workload strain represents a challenge for institutional faculty, staff, and leadership.
Institutions can support the future of work through strategies that adjust faculty training to current realities, direct staff capacity to maximize impact, and plan for long-term workforce needs.
Build Faculty Facilitation Skills
Higher education institutions can better prepare students for an AI-augmented workforce by shifting from teacher-centered models to facilitative instructional approaches that develop the enduring professional capacities that become more, not less, valuable as AI transforms work: critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and adaptability.
