Stakeholder's Dilema
The Stakeholder’s Dilemma uses gamified learning to engage participants through playful competition, fostering essential skills and aligning education with real career pathways. This interactive event guides community stakeholders—including individuals, community leaders, educators, STEAM career professionals, and local business owners—through a collaborative, strategic planning process. Together, they will create pre-apprenticeships, service-learning projects, and job opportunities for youth and young adults, helping them gain skills to address challenges outlined in our Applied Digital Equity initiative. In doing so, students will strengthen their workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills. Participants will gain essential skills in project management, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, economic development, and new business development, demonstrating their preparedness for college, career, business ownership, and community reinvestment.
The Stakeholder’s Dilemma is a key component of the Applied Digital Equity Initiative, aiding community stakeholders in promoting workforce readiness and economic empowerment. It equips youth and adults from under served communities with the skills needed for sustainable careers in telecommunications, healthcare IT, cybersecurity, and digital marketing.
This event not only showcases how game-based learning can address socio-economic challenges but also emphasizes the value of public-private partnerships in building sustainable solutions.
Your participation will underscore the importance of collaboration and community investment, ensuring that the outcomes of our game align with Kansas City’s goals for inclusive growth.
