Listen "Bridging the Divide Between Education & Labor"
Episode Synopsis
Why is there a gap between the skills employers want and the skills we develop in higher education? How do we build the organizational capacity for rigorous earn-and-learn opportunities? In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Annelies Goger, Fellow from The Brookings Institution. She highlights how states are scaling earn-and-learn opportunities, the value of skills frameworks, and the promise of a blended pathways model. She advocates for more rigorous apprenticeships, internships and experiential learning opportunities.
