Workshop Addressing Technology Skills Gaps

项目摘要

The goal of this workshop is to advance thinking about social changes occurring at the human-technology frontier. Specifically, the workshop begins with transitions into adulthood when youth begin to establish themselves into the labor force and take on adult roles. The first day of the workshop will ask how developmental processes hinder or enhance the capacity of emerging adults to be accurate consumers of data. The second day will explore how contextual effects (e.g. rural locale, cultural inequalities, educational access, and generational disconnects) hinder or enhance broad exposure to social and technological skills. The third day explores institutional factors: technology, new media, and organizational learning. The workshop will invite industry partners and representatives to participate in discussions about ways to avoid brain drain in rural communities where youth are concentrated.The workshop will address four technology and skills gaps: 1) data literacy among emerging adults (the capacity to be accurate consumers of knowledge created by data analytics; 2) workforce preparation (contextual factors that may affect exposure to updated social and technology skills); 3) high-tech communications (access to accurate and trusted knowledge to inform decisions); and 4) exposure of rural emerging adults to knowledge capital that sustains equitable solutions.

本次研讨会的目标是推进对人类技术前沿发生的社会变革的思考。具体来说，研讨会从向成年的过渡开始，此时青年开始进入劳动力市场并承担成人角色。研讨会的第一天将询问发展过程如何阻碍或增强新兴成年人成为准确数据消费者的能力。第二天将探讨背景影响（例如农村地区、文化不平等、教育机会和代际脱节）如何阻碍或增强对社会和技术技能的广泛接触。第三天探讨制度因素：技术、新媒体和组织学习。研讨会将邀请行业合作伙伴和代表参与讨论，讨论如何避免年轻人集中的农村社区人才流失。研讨会将解决四个技术和技能差距：1）新兴成年人的数据素养（成为准确消费者的能力）数据分析创造的知识；2）劳动力准备（可能影响接触最新社交和技术技能的背景因素）； 3）高科技通信（获得准确且可信的知识以指导决策）； 4) 让农村新兴成年人接触到维持公平解决方案的知识资本。
