Memo to the President on Talent & Workforce
Join us live for our Coursera Launch Event right now!
I'm Ylli Bajraktari, CEO of the Special Competitive Studies Project. It’s a special day at SCSP. Our newest memo lays out the urgent talent and workforce issues facing government, and more importantly, provides concrete recommendations for action. And to put those words into immediate practice, we're thrilled to announce the launch of our free Coursera course, designed to directly integrate AI expertise into public sector missions. This is a unique opportunity to be part of the solution, to equip yourself and your colleagues with the tools needed to become AI-ready.
In today’s episode of the #MemosToThePresident series, I sat down with Ryan Carpenter and Diana Gehlhaus, to highlight our memo on Talent. We discuss the steps the United States must take to retain a robust talent ecosystem to drive innovation, support economic growth, and secure its leadership in emerging technologies. I hope you enjoy the conversation!
Our course on AI in National Security is LIVE!
Today, we are hosting a live, virtual event from our office for the launch of our newest effort with Coursera, AI in National Security: Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Public Sector Missions. We are starting soon and would love for you to join us at the livestream below for this can’t-miss preview of our free course.
The purpose of this memo is to position the U.S. workforce to compete and succeed in a world driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and unprecedented technological change. A fundamental transformation of education and workforce policies is necessary to build the talent pipeline necessary for maintaining America’s leadership in critical technology sectors. We suggest 5 objectives to get there:
Secure Global Leadership for Technology Talent
Empower the American Workforce for Technological Transformation
Modernize Institutions for the Digital Age
Transform U.S. Education and Training Through Strategic Technology Integration
Build and Sustain a Highly Skilled Public Sector Technology Workforce to Meet National Needs
By addressing today’s challenges with strategic reforms and investments, the United States can strengthen its workforce and ensure that the government becomes more capable and efficient.
Good policy recommendations. How to escalate and get them in the hands of those who can make decisions?
