The K-12 'Re-Wire': Scaling AI-Proof Career Pathways and Alternative Credentials

The traditional "college-for-all" narrative is evolving into a "skills-for-all" reality. As various levers reshape the labor market, K-12 leaders face immense pressure to ensure diplomas represent economic mobility, not just seat time.

This session brings together district innovators, industry partners, and policy experts to discuss the friction and the future of career-connected learning. We will move beyond vocational ed to the practice of scaling embedded credentials, digital apprenticeships, and dual-enrollment models that reach all learners and put learners in a place to win in the AI era.
