Our future will be built around intelligence. Three decades ago, no one owned a computer. Two decades ago, smartphones didn’t exist. The internet didn’t take off until 1990, when Nirvana was at the top of the charts and Dr. Brown yelled at Marty McFly, “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” Exactly.
It’s time for bold ideas to equip Colorado and our citizens for the bumpy, lightning-fast journey to the job market of the future.
We need to break down the barriers between industry and education.
We need to change the way we approach hiring.
We need to help students begin thinking about a career much earlier.
We need students and families to control their own destiny.
Finally, give students more options than a traditional college degree.
It’s time for us to tap into our Western spirit to go big and bold in our approach to reinventing work! Our children are eager and excited to ride the wave of innovation, or pilot their flying car, to an incredible job in the future right here in colorful Colorado.
