Detroit is undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation—one driven by innovation, community leadership, and an urgent demand for a new kind of workforce. As energy and tech sectors accelerate, organizations and employers are racing to prepare Detroit's workforce for jobs that didn't exist a decade ago. Workforce researchers note that tech-enabled roles across industries are growing faster than traditional pathways, raising the stakes for cities working to ensure residents have equitable access to these opportunities.How does Detroit build a workforce that is both future-ready and deeply rooted in community—one that reflects the city's diversity, grit, and entrepreneurial spirit?In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron Stefanski sits down with Per Scholas' Executive Vice President, Ken Walker, and Detroit Managing Director, Laura Chavez, during the PowerUp Detroit workforce conference. Together, they explore the innovations, partnerships, cultural dynamics, and opportunities reshaping tech education and career access in Detroit.Highlights from the Conversation…Detroit's workforce momentum is real: From human-centered workforce strategies to deeper employer collaboration, leaders across the region are co-designing solutions that meet community needs—especially in the energy and tech sectors.Community movements like Black Tech Saturdays are rewriting the narrative: Grassroots innovation proves that when there's no seat at the table, Detroiters build their own—and create pathways for underrepresented talent to enter and lead in tech.Per Scholas is reimagining tech training for the modern learner: With more than 25 career tracks and flexible delivery models, the organization is expanding training access while customizing programs to Detroit's culture, employers, and industry needs.Ken Walker is the Executive Vice President at Per Scholas, where he has been a driving force in the organization's national growth since joining in 2005. Under his leadership, Per Scholas has expanded from a $4 million nonprofit to an $80 million national powerhouse with 24 locations and over two dozen tech training pathways. A leading voice in workforce innovation, Ken specializes in aligning training to emerging technologies, employer demand, and equitable talent development.Laura Chavez is the Managing Director of Per Scholas Detroit, a lifelong educator, community leader, and advocate for equitable workforce development. With a background in bilingual and bicultural education and deep roots in Southwest Detroit, Lara has built a career around empowerment, authenticity, and relationship-driven community engagement. Her work focuses on dismantling barriers for learners, expanding tech access for underrepresented communities, and strengthening Detroit's diverse talent ecosystem.

It focuses on how theracially and linguistically diverse dual-language program constructs ideasabout race and Latinidad, and forms the Latinx group.Prof. Chávez-Moreno posits that the bilingual programadvanced an imagined Spanish as the signature boundary delineating the Latinxracialized group in relation to other racialized groups. She also argues thatbilingual schooling may become a false champion for a future anti-racist,anti-imperialist, decolonial Latinidad if this schooling does not disruptracially inequitable outcomes and encourage Latinxs' critical consciousness.She invites teachers and educators to embrace ambitious teaching about the ambivalenceof race, an approach aimed at enhancing critical consciousness about race.**WE ARE ALSO ON AUDIOAUDIO “Conversations with Calvin; WE the SpecIEs”ANCHOR https://lnkd.in/g4jcUPqSPOTIFY https://lnkd.in/ghuMFeCAPPLE PODCASTSBREAKER https://lnkd.in/g62StzJGOOGLE PODCASTS https://lnkd.in/gpd3XfMPOCKET CASTS https://pca.st/bmjmzaitRADIO PUBLIC https://lnkd.in/gxueFZw

Laura Chavez Silverman, founder of The Outside Institute, investigates our many options in relating to Nature and the world of plants. Do we go to Nature to take? Do we have something to bring? Can we even “go to Nature” if it is inescapably all around us? What can we do to belong to the land once we give up the illusion of owning it?   References:   The Outside Institute: https://theoutsideinstitute.org/ A simple version of the logos/plants recognition test (courtesy of @decolonialatlas): https://twitter.com/decolonialatlas/status/1141014552152367104/photo/1 Suzanne's Simard: https://suzannesimard.com/ A recipe for a black walnut bitters Old Fashioned: http://www.fouramongstthree.com/blog/2015/1/3/old-fashioned-with-walnut-bitters-anzac-cookies

Among his many accomplishments are a number of definitive books on the genre, as well as pivotal roles in some of the most celebrated music museums in the world, including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Experience Music Project in Seattle. In anticipation of Robert’s upcoming speech in Saint Louis for the National Blues Museum, they sat down to discuss his museum work, the influence (and lack of influence) the blues has had on popular music, his writing, and the special things that make music museums truly great. It’s also a great read you can find the link to it in this week’s write up. http://www.americanbluesscene.com/2013/09/robert-santelli/ Also in American Blues Scene this week is an article about the CAll and Response Symposium at the King Biscuit Festival in Helena Ark on the 12th of October.
