    About

    In this webinar, David L. McCollum — Managing Partner of DAELA, Army veteran, and workforce strategist — examines what it means to build a career without borders in an era when artificial intelligence is simultaneously eliminating certain roles, creating new ones, and fundamentally changing what employers value in every market. Drawing on his deep experience in workforce development, talent strategy, and technology consulting, David will equip engineering professionals with practical frameworks for understanding how AI is reshaping the global labor market, identifying where the highest-demand opportunities lie across Africa and the United States, and positioning themselves to compete and lead in both contexts. The session goes beyond the technical — exploring the uniquely human competencies of leadership, adaptability, communication, and professional resilience that remain irreplaceable regardless of how sophisticated AI becomes. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies for career advancement, a sharper understanding of how to leverage emerging technologies as a career asset rather than a threat, and actionable insight into the cross-continental professional opportunities that exist at the intersection of Africa's development momentum and the United States' demand for globally minded engineering talent.
