What Technology Means to the Future of Work

The nature of jobs in America is changing, from the skills needed to succeed to the jobs that will be available as a result of the evolving landscape. The only certainty about the future is change. In an effort to understand what’s driving these changes and how to evolve with them, Axios has partnered with JPMorgan Chase to present the four-part Smarter Faster Revolution campus tour series aimed at educating the next generation of workers—college students.

The Revolution kicked off on November 16th at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and will be heading to the University of Michigan on December 13th, and into the spring of 2018 at Howard University, and the Ohio State University.
