About this webinar
The American School of Milan has brought together a panel of teaching, admissions, advancement and curriculum experts for a lively discussion on the future of work for young people. They will explore what you can expect from an international education today and how this will prepare students for a global role in the future.
Could this disruption be an opportunity for changes in education, an opportunity to look more closely at ways education has been delivered to students?
Looking outside the classroom, educators have begun to ask what will tomorrow’s work environment look like?
What skill sets will be the most important for students to acquire?
Interesting questions indeed.
