On January 9th, business leaders, education advocates, and policymakers came together to explore how technology innovations are impacting workforce needs at the Age of Agility Summit New Jersey. The event explored how automation and artificial intelligence are disrupting, eliminating, and creating jobs in New Jersey.
The Age of Agility Summit New Jersey was hosted by JerseyCAN and several local sponsors. JerseyCAN advocates for all students across the state to have access to excellent schools with the goal that every student in New Jersey graduates from high school ready to succeed in college and their career.
The event provided a platform for stakeholders to discuss and explore creative solutions for restructuring the education system to be more rigorous, relevant and modern for ALL students across the state.
Thank you to our New Jersey Partners & Local Sponsors
