| Abstract | The changing economy is radically altering the way we work and intensifying the pressure on talent development and economic opportunities. The changes that are underway promise to create new jobs, but only for people with the right skills. In an era when two-thirds of jobs already require some form of education and training beyond high school--an all-time high--the rapid rise of advanced technologies, such as automation and artificial intelligence, is further accelerating the shift to a skills economy. It has been estimated that 85 percent of the jobs that will be available in 2030 have yet to be created, and that the "half-life of skills" is shrinking to five years. People who want to remain employable and "robot proof" must master nonroutine, cognitive skills. Moreover, with the rise of the gig economy, the need for entrepreneurial skills is more essential than ever--it's estimated half of the labor force will work as freelancers by 2027. This seismic shift in the labor market demands new thinking about the role of postsecondary institutions in preparing individuals for work, supporting their ongoing skill development needs, and driving economic advancement for all. Policymakers seeking creative policy solutions to meeting workforce challenges would do well to focus their attention and investments on community and technical colleges. Considering their long-standing connections to business and industry, their deep roots in their local communities, and their unwavering commitment to open-access, low-cost education, these public, two-year institutions are well positioned to develop new sources of talent for the jobs of the future while also reaching and serving populations with the greatest need for credentials and upskilling.
