AI Literacy: Employer Expectations for New College Graduates

Description

Curious about how generative artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping higher education and preparing students for the future? Join the AI in Practice Webinar Series, a collaborative initiative among Johns Hopkins University's Center for Teaching Excellence and Innovation, University of Baltimore's Center for Excellence in Learning, Teaching, and Technology, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Engage with different industry thought leaders, university faculty, and instructional-support staff the second Wednesday of each month at noon to explore the evolving role of AI in teaching and the essential skills students need to thrive in an AI-enhanced workforce.

What AI skills do employers actually want from new graduates? Go beyond the technical basics to explore the real-world competencies that drive hiring decisions today. Panelists Dean Merritt from Mindgrub and Karolyn Babalola from Booz Allen Hamilton will share insights on essential AI literacy, ethical considerations, and the gap between classroom learning and workplace application.

This session is perfect for students preparing for the job market, educators designing curriculum, and career professionals staying ahead of industry trends.
