FutureWork for K-12 Schools

FutureWork for K–12 Schools helps educators, administrators, and district leaders explore how technology can strengthen teaching, learning, and workforce alignment. 

The Learning and Development Initiative

FutureWork for K–12 Schools helps educators, administrators, and district leaders explore how artificial intelligence and digital transformation can strengthen teaching, learning, and workforce alignment. NJIT’s Learning and Development Initiative (LDI) supports schools and districts in embedding AI literacy, innovation, and future-ready skills into the educational experience for students, staff, and community partners. The program equips schools to navigate emerging technologies with confidence and purpose, ensuring that educators stay at the forefront of pedagogical innovation. Through applied learning, professional development, and district-wide strategy sessions, FutureWork for K–12 Schools fosters a culture of curiosity and adaptability. By building educator capacity and aligning classroom practice with workforce realities, the program helps K–12 systems prepare today’s learners for tomorrow’s world.
