Podcasts about work based learning

In this time of uncertainty and pullback of federal support for higher education, is it time for states to step up and play a greater leadership role in helping colleges better serve students? And if so, how? Jeff and Michael debate those questions on this episode. To set the stage, they talk with Ruth Watkins, president of postsecondary education for Strada Education Foundation and a former college president, about Strada's new State Opportunity Index. A key theme: the state level may be the ideal one to match educational offerings with available jobs, especially as AI reshapes so many industries. This episode is made with support from Strada Education Foundation.Chapters0:00 - Intro3:40 - How a New Report Measures State Higher Ed Efforts5:53 - Is This a Time for States to Lead?8:17 - How to Encourage Competition Among States10:12 - Which States Lead In Higher Ed ROI12:52 - Low Tuition Doesn't Guarantee Good ROI15:39 - What Can Colleges Do If Job Prospects Are Low in a State?19:00 - Who Is the Audience for the State Opportunity Index?21:09 - How Can State Measure Return on Investing in Higher Ed?23:52 - What Can States Do in Higher Ed to Respond to AI?26:45 - Sponsor Break27:55 - Some Context for How States Interact With Federal Higher Ed Support29:40 - Why Jeff Thinks States and the Feds Aren't ‘Rowing in the Same Direction'32:00 - Why Michael Sees More Alignment in State and Federal Efforts34:15 - Will States Step In to Support Research?37:07 - Are Some States Doing Better on Work-Based Learning?40:54 - Colleges Still Aren't Comfortable in Their Role of Getting Students Jobs46:29 - New Leadership Opportunity In Human Capital in the AI Era48:18 - A Better Way to Measure State Investment51:56 - Lightning Round With Ruth WatkinsRelevant Links:2025 Strada State Opportunity IndexStrada Education Foundation 2025 Grapevine ReportState Higher Education Executive Officers AssociationConnect with Michael Horn:Sign Up for the The Future of Education NewsletterWebsiteLinkedInX (Twitter)Threads  Connect with Jeff Selingo:Dream School: Finding the College That's Right for YouSign Up for the Next NewsletterWebsiteX (Twitter)ThreadsLinkedInConnect with Future U:TwitterYouTubeThreadsInstagramFacebookLinkedIn  Submit a question and if we answer it on air we'll send you Future U. swag!Sign up for Future U. emails to get special updates and behind-the-scenes content.

In this episode, host Leisa Fox tackles one of Iowa's most urgent challenges: the looming workforce gap. With hundreds of thousands of jobs set to open in the next five years, the solution isn't abstract—it's work-based learning. Leaders from iJAG, ABI, MidAmerican Energy, and Kuder share how their collaboration is creating a clear pathway for students while giving businesses direct access to the skilled workforce they need. Through firsthand stories and practical strategies, the discussion underscores a critical truth: work-based learning isn't optional. It's a mandate. Employers who want their share of tomorrow's workforce must act now by engaging with students, educators, and solution providers. The payoff is a stronger workforce, a stronger economy, and a future-ready Iowa. Find this show on your favorite app: https://iowapodcast.com/manufacturing-workforce-solution

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

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 27th   Publish Date:  August 27th    BREAK: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Tuesday, August 27th and Happy Birthday to ***08.27.24 – BIRTHDAY – PAUL REUBEN*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Commissioner Invokes 'Bloods and Crips' as Map Feud Rages Severe Weather Challenging Blood Supply Marietta Preservationist Florence Corley Remembered   All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    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.

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.
