In this episode, we're joined by Kerry Twomey, Director of Account Management at Metrix Learning, for a timely conversation about AI, upskilling, and what truly matters in today's workforce. Kerry shares insights on why human skills like critical thinking, communication, and empathy remain essential in an age of rapid technological change—and why learning how to use AI may be just as important as understanding its limits. We explore SkillUp America and how equitable access to training is helping communities, nonprofits, justice-impacted individuals, and emerging leaders build meaningful career pathways through lifelong learning. From reskilling during disruption to real-world success stories, this episode offers a grounded and hopeful look at the future of workforce development.
