Is a traditional four-year college degree still worth the cost? Or is it becoming obsolete in an AI-driven, skills-based economy? In this episode, Raakhee and Sue unpack how employers, universities, and learners are reimagining education, from micro-credentials and digital skills passports to on-demand learning and corporate-led training. We explore how lecture halls will evolve, why companies are dropping degree requirements, and what the future of learning means for your career and your kids.
If you’re a parent, educator, HR leader, or mid-career professional, this conversation is a must-listen. The future of learning isn’t coming — it’s already here.
