In the News: A New Way to Measure Durable Skills

In this Q&A, he talks about the importance of employer buy-in, designing for equity—and how the tool can help make skills-based hiring a reality. Read it here.
ASU+GSV Summit 2023
We were honored to have our President, Tim Taylor, and Vice President of Partnerships Stephanie Short, share the stage on two panels at ASU+GSV this year to discuss the merits of durable skills from cradle to career. We were also fortunate to host so many leaders in this field at our roundtable discussion in the Edmentum Suite. A big thank you to Edmentum for allowing us to use your space!
