The Future of Hiring: How One School is Diversifying Your Candidate Pool | Lambda School

While AI/ML and robotic automation are going to displace lots of jobs in the world, they are also creating lots of jobs. A Korn Ferry study found that there will be 85 million jobs unfilled and 8.5 trillion unrealized revenue by 2030 if we don't do something. The biggest challenge of the future of work is not that robots will take over all our jobs, but we won't have enough people with the skillsets to take these jobs.  Upskilling or reskilling is no longer just a good thing to do for your career, but a requirement to stay relevant in the fluid future of work. We are excited to have Jeff Henriod from Lambda School, an education startup that just raised 74M in Series C, to talk to us about the future of work in relation to education, upskilling and hiring .

Lambda is a skills-based, online school that gives people a path to a better career and higher income at no cost until they’re hired. Lambda’s mission is to eliminate underemployment – through incentive-aligned education, where access to better incomes and career mobility are expanded. Lambda School doesn’t succeed unless our students do.
