Barter Trade in the New Economy - Online Course

Join us for a self-paced online course in partnership with UpliftNow!

As we emerge from the Fourth Industrial Revolution to an age of conscious innovation, faculty and students will be challenged to work in a new workforce that requires them to embrace a new set of skills and function by the new rules of the gig economy. Bartering can function as both an institutional and a curricular innovation. Bartering is both a skill and a way of being in the world that will allow faculty, staff, and students to thrive in the new economy. Teaching bartering is also a way to help students apply the entrepreneurial mindset as they are challenged to critically reflect on how their lives, communities, and cities will be impacted by the emerging age of conscious innovation within the connection economy.
