New world needs new skills

Yesterday Mission Impact had the honor of hosting a Web3 Career Opportunities session at Business Innovation & Technology (BIT Center) at Miami Dade College joined by MI team Tarja Stephens, Elizabeth Irizarry, Stefanie Hingley, and our guest speaker Anna Gandrabura.

Here are some key takeaways from the great session!

· Emerging technologies bring new career opportunities to every industry and sector.

· Education, training, and upskilling are more important than ever in the fast-evolving digital world.

· Everyone should be able to live, learn, work, and participate in the digital world.

· Having an understanding of what technology can do and how it can drive innovation is a great starting point for creating the workforce of the future.

· Leadership and collaboration will be key when developing new solutions for the next generation of talent.

The Future of Work

As millions of young people will join the workforce, it is important that they’re equipped with the skills they’ll need to get jobs. At Mission Impact we are excited to bring support to this.

Thank you to all the students, faculty, and community who joined us, and a big thank you to Max Ramirez and the entire BIT Team for inviting Mission Impact to be part of the great Metaverse Series sessions.
