The Global Youth Economics Opportunities Summit is taking place September 27-29 in Washington, DC. Dr. Catalina Rojas from the Peace and Collaborative Development Network (PCDN) is attending (I am member of PCDN’s Career Advisory Board). She wrote this thoughtful piece about the Future of Work after listening to a talk by Dr. Arun Sundararajan from New York University. It looks at the emerging gig economy, raises ethical issues, and considers ways in which younger works need to prepare themselves for the future. It’s worth a read.
I am a career coach, consultant, and head of a not for profit - the Forage Center - that offers humanitarian education training. I also teach at George Mason University and Drexel University. A one time lawyer, I spent many years teaching in a community college where I was a Fulbright U.S. Scholar teaching in Estonia.
