Many Americans face a Catch-22, they need training to get a new higher paying job, but they can’t go without pay to attend a training course. This initiative aims to solve this problem with paid apprenticeships and credentials that lead to actual, available good jobs.
Today @Meta is proud to launch America’s Workforce Academy with our partners.
This program will provide paid training, certification and a job for Americans of all backgrounds to be part of building American leadership in the world.
Because we believe the Future is for Everyone.

If universities are reaping the benefits of scaling lucrative online healthcare programs, they have the resources to arrange clinical placements for all students.

What happens when investment banks are the only companies recruiting a nervous generation two years ahead of time? A gravitational distortion of student life.

AI won't eclipse platforms like Workday because Workday isn't just software. It's also a system of productivity and a system of governed work.
From @HeliosLlchrexecutive.com/ai-is-coming…
By splitting workforce into two (“work force”), the New York Times separates symptoms from system. Which explains the paper of record’s spotty coverage of talent shortages, underemployment, and broken career pathways rather than the system causing them.

Couldn't be prouder of the Achieve team.

Unless you are attending a school with massive market cachet, a degree without work-integrated learning is becoming a high-risk asset. The future of the university degree, according to @ryancraigap, must be “work-integrated” moneysense.ca/columns/moneyf…
Talent marketplaces are not only the solution for what ails workforce development, but also the tool we need to navigate impending AI disruption of the labor market.

Proud to announce sale of our portfolio company Optimum Healthcare IT, the first investment in Achieve Workforce I, to Infosys. Optimum's growth was driven by Optimum CareerPath, the first apprenticeship program in healthcare IT.

Internships are jobs and we need millions more of them. And like all jobs, they’re only created when companies decide the benefits of hiring outweigh the costs.

Tech billionaires think they can do anything. Because they went to school – or at least dropped out – they think they can design a better one.

If Caltech is hiring presidents for the long run, most colleges and universities should be hiring for the longer run. Because presidents who won’t be around to reap the rewards are less likely to take the risks to fix a fading value proposition.

“[Colleges] need to figure out how to integrate relevant, in-field, and hopefully paid work experience for every student, and hopefully multiple experiences before they graduate.” web.archive.org/web/20260120…@intelligencer@ryancraigap
There’s a middle ground between pie-in-the-sky skills-based hiring and hiring revanchism. Employers can leverage technology to let candidates show what they can do, early, fairly, and at scale.

Allowing video to crowd out reading means trading dynamic scanning, selecting, and constructing for patience, credulity, and willingness to follow direction. It’s a poor bargain, particularly in the age of AI.

Over the past few years, the question of how the average young American can afford to live independently has become a head-scratcher.
