The ADAPTIVE meeting is an opportunity to discuss an exciting new concept for guiding career choices, particularly as they relate to re- and upskilling in a dynamic work environment. With support from the National Science Foundation, a transdisciplinary team of researchers and practitioners from academia (Oregon State University, Arizona State University and Indiana University) and industry (The Boeing Company and Burning Glass Technologies) is developing a career guidance system at a national scale; we are inviting input at this early stage of development, and would like to explore possibilities for collaboration and partnership around this new system.

The meeting will bring together 40 experts from industry, academia, government, and non-profits with interest in skill development, career trajectories, professional learning, big data and learning analytics, education and learning research and workforce development to provide feedback on ADAPTIVE: Analytics-Driven Accessible Pathways To Impacts-Validated Education. ADAPTIVE will create a platform that uses AI-based algorithms to extract future-proof career trajectories from various national databases and provides easy access to career advice via a GPS-like navigation system. This guidance system will identify skills needed for career advancement, but also recommends re- and upskilling courses and other professional learning offerings that best fit an individual’s career trajectory.

Oregon State University STEM Research Center conducts applied research with a broad range of partners and nurtures community engagement toward improved systems of STEM Learning for all. The ADAPTIVE meeting is an opportunity for researchers and faculty to come together to network, learn and share about the process of adaptive teaching in science, technology, engineering and math.
