In this episode of Work in Progress, I'm joined by Jane Swift, president of Education of Work, for a discussion on the importance of work-based learning in preparing college students for careers and how the national nonprofit is championing the mission. Recent grads trying to launch their careers sometimes find they don't have the experience that employers are looking for to fill their open jobs, even entry-level jobs. Education at Work is trying to bridge that gap between academics and the workforce by connecting college students with top employers to give them valuable work experience. Swift explains that Education at Work is hired by these employers to fill specific roles and are given a certain number of hours to cover. She says there are other organizations out there providing contract workers, but "the real magic happens because we are one of the few, maybe the only provider who is doing this at scale with college students in a part-time role. "Our students actually prefer the times that many full-time employees do not want to work. We'll work on weekends. We will work evenings, and the definition of evenings is even different for our students. That also allows us to schedule them in hours that don't conflict with their academic responsibilities." Swift says that while some employers have been initially hesitant to hire young adults in college, but they are persuaded by the data that shows these college students are exceptional employees. "We have super ambitious, hardworking students and that I think is a surprise to them. We can show them that 'yes, you can use college students in a part-time role to fill a job, you're already struggling to fill with a full-time worker.' "And having that data is really why we think we're growing so fast right now because folks are like, 'Whoa. Your students perform better than seven other outsourced providers who are using the traditional model.'' Swift says this model has been shown to help students, many of whom are from underrepresented backgrounds, develop the skills and experience needed to secure good first jobs after graduation. Listen to the entire podcast to learn about the types of jobs these college students are working in, and how Education at Work is working to support students holistically to help them navigate their transition to the professional world.

Send us a textIn our latest Hootworthy interview, we chatted with Abby, a 2023 GCA graduate who found great success through GCA's work-based learning program at Zaxby's. Abby's journey began in 10th grade when she started working at Zaxby's and later joined the Work-Based Learning Program thanks to a teacher's suggestion. This program allowed her to balance work and school effectively, earning credit hours while gaining valuable on-the-job experience.Abby set her sights on becoming an assistant manager and achieved that goal shortly after graduation. She chose Zaxby's because she loved the brand, and the Work-Based Learning Program helped her grow as a worker while still attending school. Now, as an assistant manager, she's responsible for leading a team of 8-10 people per shift, handling various challenges, and ensuring customer satisfaction. Her days are dynamic, with each day bringing new tasks and situations.Balancing work and college, Abby works 35-45 hours a week, a feat she manages thanks to the skills she developed during high school. Reflecting on her high school experience, where she worked around 20 hours a week, Abby credits the Work-Based Learning Program with preparing her for her current schedule. She believes communication is key to leadership and stays open to dialogue with her team, leaders, and customers.One of Abby's most memorable moments was meeting Zack, the founder of Zaxby's, who visited her store and had a meal. She advises students in work-based learning to go out and find a job, learn new skills, and enjoy the experience. For those who already have a job, she points out the benefits of earning credits while gaining work experience.Looking ahead, Abby hopes to graduate from college and continue her career at Zaxby's, potentially staying in the store. She gave a heartfelt shoutout to her school, the teacher who introduced her to the work-based learning program, and her company and boss for their support and guidance. Abby's story is a great example of how work-based learning can lead to success and personal growth. Stay hootworthy, Abby

In this insightful episode of the Visions & Tones podcast, host Dr. T engages in a compelling conversation with Dr. Joshua Sarpong, a doctoral admissions specialist at the University of Auckland. Originally from Ghana, Dr. Sarpong has studied at prestigious institutions including the University of Ghana and the University of Oslo, and earned his PhD in Education in New Zealand. His work focuses on the tension between universities' need for diverse funding sources and the risks this poses to academic freedom. The discussion delves into the concept of neoliberal higher education, exploring how it shifts focus from public to private good and how it affects universities globally. Dr. Sarpong introduces his concept of "strategic entrepreneurialism," which seeks to balance financial needs with the core mission of teaching and research. Together, they explore themes from Dr. Sarpong's research, such as the impact of globalization on higher education, winners versus losers in academic competition, the rise of managerialism, and the decline of collegiality. The conversation also touches on the role of activism in education and the societal implications of these trends.

BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: Commissioner Invokes 'Bloods and Crips' as Map Feud Rages In a heated Cobb County commission meeting, commissioners debated redistricting after a court ruling invalidated their "home rule" map and ordered elections based on a state legislature map. The debate revealed deep divisions, with accusations of political bias and distrust of the county attorney. Commissioner Jerica Richardson faces potential loss of her seat, but she would remain a "de facto" commissioner during any appeal. Republican commissioners argue for repealing the home rule resolution to comply with the law, while others worry this would delay the process. The meeting was marked by intense rhetoric, reflecting broader political tensions. STORY 2: Blood Emergency: Severe Weather Challenging Blood Supply The American Red Cross is facing a national blood emergency exacerbated by recent severe weather, including Hurricane Debby, which has led to the cancellation of around 60 blood drives and a shortfall of approximately 1,500 blood products. In Georgia alone, over 450 blood drives have been canceled in the past decade, with 12 cancellations this year resulting in about 400 uncollected donations. To help alleviate the shortage, donors are encouraged to schedule appointments. Those who donate by August 31 will receive a $20 Amazon gift card, while those donating between September 1-15 will receive an exclusive Red Cross T-shirt. Blood drives are scheduled throughout September and October at various locations. STORY 3: Marietta Preservationist Florence Corley Remembered Florence “Florrie” Corley, who passed away on August 18 at age 91, was a multifaceted Marietta educator and historian. She was a teacher, writer, Presbyterian elder, and co-founder of Cobb Landmarks. Born on January 6, 1933, in Augusta, Georgia, she dedicated her life to preserving and teaching history, from her academic achievements to her work with Cobb Landmarks, which she helped establish in 1974. She taught history at The Westminster Schools and Kennesaw State University and was active in numerous community and historical organizations. A memorial service will be held on August 28 at First Presbyterian Church of Marietta. She is survived by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

The proposed site is on Mill Street, with the design reflecting Marietta's historical aesthetic. Tumlin and DMDA Chairman Tom Browning will present the plan to the Economic and Community Development Committee. STORY 7: One Killed in I-75 Collision with Freightliner Early Saturday morning, a fatal collision occurred on I-75 in Marietta. LaForest Williamson, 46, of Columbia, SC, was driving a Freightliner with two trailers southbound when a 2009 Nissan Altima, driven by Kejaunaye Rollins, 21, of Stone Mountain, collided with the rear of the second trailer.

For decades, Iowa's education system has been designed to lead kids to very general, liberal arts degrees with little learning that could be applied directly to their future careers. With the passage of Senate File 2411, a more comprehensive approach to Career and Technical Education creating clearer career paths in targeted industries like Advanced Manufacturing will become a reality. President of the Iowa Senate, Amy Sinclair, comes into the Iowa Manufacturing Studio with Leisa to explain the Workforce Opportunity Fund and changes to CTE Education certification and how this comprehensive plan will help Iowa's kids be more prepared for the workforce after graduation. Allowing kids to work in the summer AND receive credits is a win-win situation for everyone involved. Coupled with the changes to Iowa's Charter School legislation, technical training and exposure to needed technical roles will be far more strategic.

Bob Behning (R-Ind.) and Sen. Malcolm Augustine (D-Md.)Behning said participation in an NCSL study group helped inform legislation he has pursued to ensure more options for youth employment and to destigmatize technical education.

Being considered a triple threat (actor, dancer and singer) in the entertainment field can open many doors. In the education and workforce realm, Carrie Lively has more than three designations to her name – and she's putting them all to good use.A former teacher, school counselor, administrator and state agency official, Lively is now the executive director at the Pursuit Institute in Hamilton County, which is an intermediary between area schools and businesses for work-based learning opportunities. Designated as an independent career and technical education (CTE) district by the state, the Pursuit Institute can offer CTE programming the same as a conventional high school.While Hamilton County is recognized as one the leaders for work-based learning in the state, there is an increased awareness by stakeholders that such high-quality activities need to take place throughout Indiana.

In the mid-1990s a new C-suite title was born when General Electric CEO Jack Welch dubbed Steve Kerr the company's ”chief learning officer.” Since then CLOs have sprouted up at major firms in several industries. But what does this new breed of ”learning leaders” bring to the table that traditional human resources departments and employee training programs do not? How does an increased emphasis on learning improve an organization? And do new technologies like distance learning simulations and online portals enhance or impede work-based education? To answer these questions Knowledge at Wharton spoke with Ed Betof former vice president of talent management and CLO at Becton Dickinson and Company who is a senior fellow and academic director of Wharton Executive Education's Executive Program in Work-Based Learning Leadership; Mike Barger vice president and CLO at JetBlue University; and Ann Schulte vice president of global learning at MasterCard Worldwide.
