S2 E6 David Blake (CEO, Degreed) - Jailbreaking Education: How Degreed is Revolutionizing Learning

Will college degrees survive the incredible pace of skill shifts? Rohan and David explore the future of learning in a world of shrinking skill lifespans. David reveals a jaw-dropping stat: the average half-life of a skill (the time it takes for a skill to become half as valuable) has plummeted from 15 years a few decades ago to just 2 years - making skills obsolete in a flash. Lifelong learning is now an imperative, not just a nice to have. Rohan and David also talk about: - Whether college degrees are becoming a thing of the past or stepping stones to lifelong learning. - “Jailbreaking” the traditional college degree and how to thrive in today’s digital age where technology outpaces classrooms. - Strategies for thriving in a job market where adaptability is the new currency. - What AI means for the skills of the future - How Degreed acts as a personal learning GPS, guiding towards relevant skills and career pathways.
