Where AI Meets Humanity: Career-Connected, Personalized Learning in Action

Career-connected learning has moved from a promising idea to a necessity. As industries evolve, technology advances, and meaningful work become less linear, young people need opportunities to build durable skills, social capital, and agency through real-world practice. With our panel, we explore what it takes to design career-connected learning that is personal, relational, and deeply human supported by high-quality technology, including AI, to enhance students' experiences. 
The session will surface concrete examples, strategies, and important questions for educators, system leaders, funders, and partners who are committed to building learning environments that support students in shaping their futures.

During our Fireside Chat, we'll surface conversation around:
- How can generative AI x quality teaching tailor career connected learning to individual student interests while maintaining industry alignment / building future-ready skills? 
- How can schools shift from “simulated” projects to real-world experiences that reflect skills needed in the modern workforce: adaptability, problem-solving, collaboration, opportunity recognition? 
- How can career readiness digital platforms support students in and outside of the classroom? 
- How can we ensure that AI-enhanced, career-connected learning doesn't only benefit the few, but serves as an entry point for all learners?
