Per Scholas President Caitlyn Brazill Featured on WorkforceRx Podcast on Building an AI-Ready Workforce

Per Scholas President Caitlyn Brazill was recently featured on WorkforceRx with Futuro Health CEO Van Ton-Quinlivan, where she shared insights on how workforce systems must evolve to meet the demands of an AI-driven economy and rapidly changing labor market.

In the conversation, Brazill discusses how AI is reshaping job requirements across industries and accelerating demand for applied, job-ready skills. She highlights how Per Scholas is responding by embedding AI literacy throughout its training programs, strengthening employer-aligned, hands-on learning models, and ensuring learners graduate with both technical and durable skills needed for long-term career success.

Brazill emphasizes that while AI is transforming how work is done, it cannot replace the need for strong workforce systems that connect training directly to employer demand. She points to the importance of structured, experiential learning environments that mirror real workplace conditions and prepare learners to apply skills immediately on the job.

The discussion also explores broader workforce challenges, including the need for stronger alignment between employers, training providers, and policymakers, as well as the growing importance of adaptability, problem-solving, and continuous learning in every role.

As AI continues to reshape the future of work, Brazill underscores that the organizations best positioned for success will be those that invest in skills-first systems designed for both speed and equity.
