• In Event: Presidential- Innovate! Planning to Develop Professional ID&D Knowledge and Skills (h)

Short Description

Have you heard the news? There is a growing demand for people with first-rate ID skills. This demand come from schools, colleges and universities navigating emergency remote learning; it also comes from workplaces that have discovered that they can thrive using distributed support. Many of these workplaces have vastly different expectation for ID fluencies than those typically found in college and university teaching and learning environments. This session explores skills pathways for “people like us” working in non-academic settings while considering emerging technology trends likely to affect both job growth and professional expectations for new essential AND desirable skills.
