In the AI Age, Our Savings Will Fund Our Re-skilling

In the AI Age, our savings will fund our re-skilling, not just retirement. And higher ed will look nothing like it has over the last 300 years.

AI is going to destroy and create entire career paths at a pace that we have never seen before. That means someone's career could be thriving, and then . . . AI could make it obsolete the next day. And given the speed of change caused by AI, this could happen a HANDFUL of times throughout someone’s career.

so, how are people going to survive in that sort of world

How are they going to:

• Get re-skilled for a new career path?

• Pay their bills while they’re retooling?

• Live on a lower salary as they restart their careers?

And how are they going to do this several times throughout their lives?

Here’s how . . .

In this future, people won’t just save for retirement.

people will primarily save for their next “career cycle”

Their savings will:

• Fund their re-education;

• Pay for their expenses while they’re re-skilling; and

• Bridge their lifestyle gap while they make their way back up the career ladder.

This cycle will repeat throughout people’s lives until they retire.

And if this vision comes to fruition, an entirely new form of higher education will be required:

• SHORT: 12-18 months (no one will be able to take 4-8 years to reskill);

• PRACTICAL: 100% focused on job skills that are immediately valuable upon re-graduation;

• AGILE: Able to shut down obsolete programs and spin up new ones in days;

• AFFORDABLE: Accessible to people who are now unemployed and on a budget.

Although we created pega6 to address all of the CURRENT problems with higher ed and the talent pipeline, we’re also built to perfectly serve this future state of career cycles:

• SHORT: one year;

• PRACTICAL: 100% focused on relevant technical and soft skills;

• AGILE: Able to pivot our curriculum, shut down obsolete programs, and spin up new programs in days; and

• AFFORDABLE: $15k.
