The Future of Work Is Here: Reimagining the Higher Ed Workforce of the Future

COVID-19 expedited changes in higher education that many predicted would happen over decades, accelerating and dramatically changing the way institutions do work overnight. Higher education institutions and their staffs were forced to shift to remote work in addition to rethinking the deep-rooted orthodoxies about how and where learning—and the critical work that enables it—is done. As colleges and universities return to campus this fall, there are opportunities to reimagine how and where work is done. Facilitators Sonia Alvarez-Robinson, executive director of Georgia Tech's Strategic Consulting Business, and Nicole Overley, Deloitte Consulting senior manager, will take participants through Georgia Tech’s journey and ask participants to consider what the future of work might look like for their own institutions. Participants will have the opportunity to break out into groups and consider the impacts of the future of work on their institution’s culture, equity, technology, policy, talent lifecycle, space/physical environment, and most important, the student experience.
