Senior Fellow Amy Kaslow To Sit On Education Task Force

Council on Competitiveness senior fellow Amy Kaslow will participate in Junior Achievement's (JA) first meeting of its Digital Strategy Advisory Task Force in the Washington, D.C., area next week. JA programs are designed to build young people’s capacity to spur economic development and to engage them actively in the teaching and learning process. The Task Force will serve in an advisory role; it will define an action plan around the use of technology in Junior Achievement’s future program development and delivery, with a goal of applying the learning to drive systemic change in K-12 work-readiness education.

The Task Force will be asked to address two key outcomes:
·         Establishing a digital strategy around the use of multiple mediums in the development of programs
·         Recommendations around how the organization can effectively scale its use of business volunteers to deliver programs, by leveraging technology.

The Digital Strategy Task Force co-chairs are Mary Cullinane, Microsoft Education’s Director of Innovation and Business Development Group; and Council on Competitiveness member Dr. Graham Spanier, president of The Pennsylvania State University.
