  • Summary

  • According to McKinsey, nearly 40% of Americans identify as independent workers, up from just 27% seven years ago. In the future, more of the labor market will focus on fractionalized small bounties that freelancers can pick up and complete.

    This week's episode of Ed3: Unplugged discusses the future of work and education, focusing on fractional talent and fractional talent marketplaces.

    Serj Hunt and Scott Meyer discuss how project-based learning can help people learn skills and earn money by doing small bounties. They also introduce a product they built this week for Ben's Bites' Hackathon, using chatbots to generate project briefs and post bounties on talent marketplaces.

    Ultimately, fractional work and fractional education can benefit the economy, but metrics and assessments must be developed to prove their effectiveness. Re-skilling is now an Olympic sport, and workers will need to learn new skills every four years. This opens up new potential for learning and working people, as long as they are open to change.
