The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. (NBER) for the project "PLANNING: CRISES: RESKILLING AND UPSKILLING FOR AN AGE OF TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTION." The grant aims to explore how workers, especially those without college degrees, can effectively reskill and upskill in response to technological changes that disrupt labor markets. The project will leverage the latest research in labor economics, management, learning sciences, and educational technology to identify high-value skills and develop data-driven, AI-powered instructional approaches to teach these skills through vocational education and training programs. The goal is to create cost-effective, accessible pathways for workers to obtain skills needed for living-wage jobs, with the potential to impact millions of lives over the long-term.
