    How can institutions better connect with industry to prepare students for the future of work? How can students navigate the hidden curriculum of the workplace while combining AI skills with human qualities? We talk through these with Bevon Joseph, the AI and Social Capital Strategist, Founder of Greenwood Project, and Author of the book "The Intern's Edge: Social Capital, AI Skills, and the Human Qualities That Open Doors and Build Careers."
