In a world where it is expected that artificial intelligence will impact every existing job, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty said business leaders have a responsibility to help high school students develop skills for what she called “new collar” jobs.

CEO Ginni Rometty said Friday that corporations owe it to society and their shareholders to help prepare people for AI-driven changes to the workforce.

The interview was taped at the Pathways in Technology Early College High School in Brooklyn, New York. The school is one of a group of 200, in more than a dozen countries, that IBM has helped design in partnership with education and business institutions. Rometty, who also serves as chair and president of the company, said the curriculum provides a six-year pipeline for students to complete high school requirements and obtain an associate degree in high-growth, "new collar" positions. The program targets youth in under-served communities that have been left behind by technology.

What about helping the 1,000 people you are laying off with skills so they can continue working at your company.

How this isn’t common sense - I simply do not understand. Teach children the skills they need for the work that will be available. This should always be the way we approach education reform.
