Why AI Is Forcing Higher Education To Rebuild Workforce Pathways AI is reshaping the labor market. Colleges must rebuild workforce pathways using real-time data, AI literacy, and industry-aligned programs to keep students employable.

‬“Before PATHWISE, most information about AI jobs was either outdated or behind paywalls. We wanted to make it accessible—to community colleges, workforce boards, policymakers, and students alike.”
