Jaime Casap

Chief Education Evangelist, Google

Jaime Casap is the Chief Education Evangelist at Google. Jaime evangelizes the power and potential of technology as an enabling and supporting tool in pursuit of promoting inquiry-based learning models. Jaime collaborates with school systems, educational organizations, and leaders focused on building innovation into our education policies and practices. Before he joined Google 13 years ago, Jaime spent seven years as a strategy and organization consultant at Accenture, where he worked with companies in financial services, government, utilities, healthcare, and electronics and high tech.

In addition to his role at Google, Jaime serves as an advisor to dozens of organizations focused on learning and the future of work. He is the coauthor of “Our First Talk About Poverty,” as a way to talk to children about poverty. Jaime also teaches a 10th grade communication class at the Phoenix Coding Academy, and guest lectures at Arizona State University. He speaks on education, digitalization, innovation, generation z, and the future of work at events around the world. You can follow and reach him on Twitter at @jcasap.

Generation Z and the Future of Work

Generation Z is the first truly native digital generation; they have never known a world without constant connectivity. Digitalization is just part of their lives. This impacts what and how they learn, what they care about, and how they will work in the future. At the same time, digitalization is impacting every business and industry across the world.

These two dynamics are on a collision course to change everything we know about work and it will happen at an unprecedented pace. Change happens slowly and then suddenly, and we have entered the “suddenly” phase!
