College admissions today is about more than grades and test scores. It’s also about demonstrating readiness for what comes next. As colleges respond to a rapidly changing world shaped by artificial intelligence, automation, and global innovation, they’re looking for students who show curiosity, adaptability, and intentional academic and extracurricular choices.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how emerging workforce trends are already influencing college admissions and academic pathways and how students can reflect that awareness in their applications and college planning. We’ll then take the next step beyond admissions, showing how those same choices lay the groundwork for long-term career readiness. Drawing on research about the future of work, we’ll share practical strategies for selecting flexible majors, building meaningful experiences, and developing durable skills that matter both in college and after graduation.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to position students for admission today and how to help them use college intentionally as a launchpad for future career success.
