In this episode of the Disrupt Education Podcast, Peter and Alli welcome back guest Jason Van Nus for a rapid follow-up conversation after just two months. The discussion kicks off with Jason's argument with ChatGPT over the term "underemployment" and how language shapes perceptions of education and career readiness.Jason critiques the term "College and Career Ready," arguing that it falsely prioritizes college over career paths, despite the reality that college is a means to a career, not an end goal. He discusses the negative impact of labeling CTE (Career and Technical Education) courses as "electives," reinforcing the idea that they are less valuable than core academic subjects.The conversation also touches on the need for education to adapt to workforce trends, integrate durable skills, and provide students with true autonomy in career planning. Jason highlights successful programs in Georgia that blend career training with academics and how communities must align education pathways with local workforce demands.The episode wraps up with a teaser for the next installment, where they will explore concrete strategies to disrupt education further.Connect with Jason Van NusLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-van-nus-824071b7/The 2152 Project - https://rss.com/podcasts/the2152project/Connect with Alli and PeterPeter HostrawserLI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterhostrawser/IG: https://www.instagram.com/peterhostrawser/FB: https://www.facebook.com/disrupteducation1/X: x.com/PeterHostrawserWebsite: https://www.peterhostrawser.comAlli DahlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allidahl/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theallidahl/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theallidahl

Are prestigious colleges the only surefire path to a successful career? What if there was a different, less stressful approach to guiding your teen through their college and career choices? Join us as I sit down with Sonia Cacique, a college and career counselor with more than 17 years of experience.

She will give us some ideas how kids and teens can start to identify what career paths could be right for them. And for parents of kids who want an alternative to traditional college, Sonia will talk about certifications as well as the benefits of community college.

Villanova University is creating career-ready graduates despite the current negative perception of higher ed that is partly fueled by students having difficulties finding jobs upon graduation. Part of this comes from approximately 94% of Villanova students being accepted into internships. Anyone can see these successes for themselves since the private Roman Catholic research institution shares what their alumni are actually saying and experiencing online. In his latest podcast episode, Dr. Drumm McNaughton talks with Associate Vice Provost for Career and Professional Development Kevin Grubb about how Villanova keeps student outcomes transparent, how transparency helps attract and retain students, how to involve the entire university system in this practice, how career skills are built into Villanova's educational experience, and how Villanova's internship program works and why it's so successful. Podcast Highlights The University Learning Goals page on the Villanova website contains searchable student career outcome information from the past five years that can be sorted by college and major. This data updates annually from surveys where graduates share their career experiences upon graduating. In addition to asking if graduates have a job, where they work, and what their salary is, the surveys ask how successful graduates feel in their first job, if their current job will help them achieve their goals, if the Villanova experience prepared them for their career, to rate Villanova's professional development (PD), and what Villanova could do differently. The University Learning Goals page helps the recruitment process by showing prospective students and their families what and how successful some career pathways are. Retention is improved since the results motivate and help students feel like they belong. Everything that goes on or informs the University Learning Goals page is shared with the admissions team to help with recruitment. The career and PD team also presents career outcomes and experiences to inform other departments of its findings and to get feedback from them. In addition, the career and PD team asks what other departments are hearing from students and how the career and PD team can help if they have questions. This culture is also instilled at the faculty level. Some Villanova schools and colleges offer a required class on career and PD. This includes first-years writing a resume, keeping in mind research opportunities, part-time jobs, or internships they might apply for in the future. These resumes are individually reviewed and spark a conversation between students, staff, and faculty. In addition, students are asked what they did during each experience, what skills they gained, what they liked, and what they didn't like. This leads to more in-depth conversations on what's important to them and what they want to do next. Students participate in mock interviews. This includes preparing for asynchronous interviews where students complete a pre-recorded asynchronous interview. Villanova also provides networking opportunities with employers, alums, and professionals within industries students are interested in. These are completed in low-stress environments where jobs or internships aren't on the line. Villanova also has a subscription to LinkedIn Learning, so undergraduate and graduate students can quickly upskill at no cost. Internships are not required for most Villanova programs, but between 91-94% of students who apply intern once during their enrollment. About half of these students intern twice or more. Villanova typically encourages employers to pay interns. #StudentServices #JobReady #HigherEd Read the transcript → About Our Podcast Guest Kevin Grubb Kevin Grubb is an internationally and nationally recognized expert on career services delivery in higher education.

According to a Deloitte Report from last year, “The UK has one of the poorest rates of social mobility in the developed world. This means that people born into low-income families, regardless of their talent, or their hard work, do not have the same access to opportunities as those born into more privileged circumstances”. Charities like The National Tutoring Programme, the National Access programme, the Sutton Trust, The Social Mobility Foundation, Career Ready, UpReach are working hard to support young people in difficult circumstances. However, we are unlikely to see any transformational change without political will, finances, a joined up approach between the government, private sector and charities. And of course a mindset change.A couple of weeks back I had two members of the Career Ready Youth Advisory Board on my podcast. For those who don't know Career Ready, it is the national social mobility charity founded in 2002 to boost social mobility by empowering young people and giving their talents a platform to flourish. Career Ready now has a network of 1000 employer supporters, 3500 volunteers and have have so far reached over 200000 young people including supporting 30000 young people on its high impact Career Ready post-16 programme. Both my guests Victoria Ayodeji and Marley Ahmed are highly self motivated, are on the path to great career journeys and deeply committed to giving back. And they are involved with various initiatives which support them in this ambition. Essentially these Gen Z social mobility advocates and role models, believing in walking the talk. In this free wheeling conversation, we spoke about their early years, educational attainment,
Shownotes:According to a report from last year by a leading consulting firm - compared with the other developed countries, the most disadvantaged in the UK are less likely to climb the income ladder and economically advantaged tend to stay at the top. No surprise there…It is no secret that, the on going impact of the pandemic, cost of living crisis, economic recession and global uncertainty has pushed more households and therefore young people into poverty. For young people from underprivileged backgrounds this is going to deeply impact their ability to bridge the attainment gap between them and their better off peers. Young people without access to resources, mentoring and networks required to progress will struggle to reach their full potential. In 2023, instead of disappearing, the barriers to achieving upward social mobility are getting more and more entrenched in our society…..No surprise there either…… To understand more about social mobility, imperatives and impact I spoke with Tokunbo Ajasa Oluwa, CEO of Career Ready, a passionate advocate for young people and social mobility. We spoke about the findings of the last State of National Report by the Social Mobility Commission and discussed why as a developed country we have been unable to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty?

Kim Kardashian has been apprenticing with two lawyers for the past few years to become a lawyer herself in California. Apprenticeships like Kardashian's “reading law” and vocational education training are career pathways that not enough young people are considering when deciding on what to do after high school. And maybe they're not thinking about what happens after graduation because schools aren't getting them “career ready” enough. New analysis of national longitudinal datasets and 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data show that it's good for job markets and young people's life outcomes when students start thinking about their future early on. Specifically, students whose schools organised first-hand encounters with people from the work world can expect to experience less unemployment and a greater likelihood of better-paying and fulfilling careers. Anthony Mann, senior policy analyst in the OECD's Education and Skills directorate, talks to us about career readiness, apprenticeships and vocational educational training.
