#2 Redefining Career Readiness & Revisiting the Purpose of Education
Manage episode 358826561 series 3456102
Is the purpose of education career readiness?
In this episode, hosts Seth Fleischauer, Lauren Pinto, and Komal Shah discuss whether our schooling system is doing a good job of preparing our students for their future careers. With the career landscape changing continuously, and simultaneously with the rapid pace of technological advances, the question has become, how can we prepare students for jobs that don't currently exist? We jump into the conversation about our personal experiences with K-12 and our careers, the difference between character building and career readiness, and alternative paths of learning. We ask ourselves the key question - is the purpose of education actually career readiness or is it something more? Join us for a conversation that focuses on all things jobs, capitalism, and the future of careers. Let's Make It Mindful.
In this episode, we will cover:
- The link between career readiness and K-12 schooling
- The rapid pace of technology and its effects on the career landscape
- "Influencing" and how that influences young people to find a different way
