Glenbard Parent Series welcomes New York Times reporter to discuss future of work
On Tuesday, Feb. 4, the GPS Parent Series: Navigating Healthy Families will host acclaimed New York Times reporter Emma Goldberg in a program titled “Future Proof: Positioning Students for the Changing Tide of Work.”
It will be offered at noon and 7 p.m. via Zoom. Visit GPSParentSeries.org for information and the links to these webinars.
According to a Pew Research study, jobs are one of the top three sources of meaning for most people. Studies show that adults who describe their work as meaningful lead healthier and happier lives.
Goldberg will discuss powerful career exploration tools that can help uncover personal passions. Participants will learn what students can do to set them apart in the eyes of future employers and hear what qualities employers are looking for in recent high school and college graduates.
Students will learn to tailor their efforts today to the lifestyles they want to achieve tomorrow. Goldberg also will highlight varieties of work-based learning such as apprenticeships, internships, job shadowing, mentorships and informational interviewing.
Goldberg is an award-winning business and investigative reporter who covers both workplace culture and the future of work. She writes about generational shifts in the workplace, hybrid work and artificial intelligence. She also analyzes the process of how workers’ lives are being transformed in a time of social and technological change.
Continuing professional development units are available for this program.
