The economy is changing fast, and education must change with it. That will be the theme today as The 74 and the Progressive Policy Institute host their first webinar of the new year about the state of America’s schools. Speakers will discuss efforts they are championing in their states and the rising political will to ensure young people learn the skills needed to succeed.

Panelists include Maryland state Sen. Jim Rosapepe; Don Fraser, Education Design Lab chief program officer; and Lateefah Durant, vice president, Cityworks DC. Taylor Maag, PPI director of workforce development, will moderate. Register on Zoom here or watch the livestream at The74Million.org beginning at 2 p.m. ET Thursday.
