Techucation: A Manifesto for Educators, Innovators, and Digital Hustlers
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world of education and employment changed forever. Degrees alone are no longer the golden ticket—they’re just one piece of a much bigger puzzle. The future belongs to the digital hustlers—those who pivoted, adapted, and found ways to build careers in an economy defined by technology and disruption.
Techucation is a roadmap for educators redefining the classroom, for students navigating a skills-first, tech-driven economy, and for creative professionals who refuse to be left behind. This is about ownership—of learning, of skills, of career paths. It’s about creating opportunities rather than waiting for them.
Dr. Nathan Araya brings you a playbook from his doctoral journey as a researcher and academic work as a professor, for the new skills-first, tech-driven economy, where micro-credentials, AI, and digital literacy are essential. Techucation equips educators with real-world strategies to prepare students for careers, helps learners build in-demand skills, and connects the dots between education and industry.
