Kai Roemmelt: 技术技能的保质期很短，需要持续学习更新。技能并非静态概念，会随着工具和环境的变化而变化。教育需要提供更灵活、更短期的课程，帮助人们适应不断变化的技能需求。Udacity 的课程设计采用模块化方式，便于更新和组合。课程开发基于对市场需求和行业趋势的分析，更注重实际应用。人工智能将影响几乎所有工作，但也会使工作更有效率和更有意义。掌握基础技能对于理解和应用新技术至关重要。学习不仅是为了找工作，也应该为了个人兴趣和发展。技术正在渗透到各个领域，技术素养正变得越来越重要。国家需要培养具备技术素养的人才，以适应未来的发展。 Lisa Gevelber: 许多公司最大的发展障碍是找不到具备所需技能的人才。许多高薪工作需要大学学位，但并非每个人都能获得大学学位，这造成了社会不平等。Grow with Google 的目标是通过培训和认证帮助人们获得更好的工作和职业。Grow with Google 的课程与雇主合作开发，以确保课程内容与实际工作需求相符。对数据分析技能和网络安全人才的需求都在迅速增长。公司应该同时进行内部员工技能提升和外部人才招聘。传统的四年制大学教育已无法满足快速变化的技能需求。将大学学位与行业认可的证书结合起来可以提高就业能力。教育机构需要与企业合作，以满足不断变化的技能需求。在线学习具有某些优势，例如个性化学习和行为科学技术的应用。现在求职者拥有比以往更多的学习机会和职业选择。
