🎓 Is college still worth it? With skyrocketing tuition costs, AI transforming jobs, and employers shifting to skills-first hiring, the traditional higher education model is under pressure like never before.

How micro-credentials and digital skills passports are transforming hiring

How universities will evolve beyond lecture halls into collaborative, skills-based spaces
What we gain (and lose) as education becomes on-demand, employer-driven, and AI-powered


📊 Whether you’re a parent, student, educator, or mid-career professional, this episode will help you navigate the new education economy — and rethink what learning means in a world where skills matter more than degrees.
