Talent Wars Podcast: How AI Is Making Career Pathways More Accessible

Join host Patience Fairbrother on the latest episode of Talent Wars as she sits down with Priya Ramanathan of FutureFit AI to learn how AI is impacting the talent space and making career pathways more accessible.  

Our national Talent Wars research finds that the large majority of people will not relocate without a job and most are interested in training opportunities to improve their career prospects – so, connecting talent in and out of your region to job and upskilling opportunities is crucial to talent attraction and retention. 

AI can help workforce development and talent attraction programs to do just that. With over 15 years of experience in workforce development, Priya has dedicated her career to growing programs that remove barriers to economic prosperity for diverse talent who are often underrepresented in growth industries. In her current role as Head of Partnership at FutureFit AI, she works closely with workforce and economic development organizations to build robust and diverse talent pipelines in high-demand industries through a robust AI-powered technology platform that connects job seekers and employers.
