Teaching FOR

FOR THE FUTURE WORKPLACE
bcex for faculty & staff

We aim to refine existing curriculum courses to meet the demands of the future of work and the anticipated effect of automation on education (e.g., integration of financial and entrepreneurship education, scaling of courses and/or student learning outcomes in critical thinking, cultural competency, mental agility, and ethical mindedness, etc.).

If we tried to think of a good idea, we wouldn’t have been able to think of a good idea. You just have to find the solution for a problem in your own life.”
