In this edition of our continuing series ‘Meaningful Conversations’, the focus was on getting the community together to discuss and brainstorm on the "Strategic Shifts in Technology Education- Present and Future ". We at Wisdom Tree curate discussions around what is happening across the globe in terms of innovation and bring to you best practices implemented by global leaders.

The discussion featured industry and academia viewpoints as our panelists were Mr. Tan Moorthy, Executive Vice President at Infosys, Head - US Delivery Operations and Global Head Education, Training & Assessments, Mr. Julien Barbier, Co-founder & CEO, Holberton School, Mr. Jake Cohen, Senior Associate Dean, Undergraduate and Master's Program at MIT Sloan School of Management and Ms. Michellana Jester, Faculty, MIT Sloan School of Management.

Some of the interesting convergent trends and views that were arrived post the brainstorming included the following:

• How can non-STEM (science technology engineering mathematics) students or community program students can benefit from micro credentialing and can mainstream successful technology careers?
