Lack of education and the likelihood of a life in poverty are directly linked. People with higher levels of education are more likely to have better jobs, live in safer home and report better physical and mental health. Things which are good for the whole community. In this episode, we dive into the benefits of post-secondary education and some of the challenges associated with entering and having success there. This episode, we were joined by Amanda Harry of BCGBIGS, Michaela Mann from the University of Alberta U School, and Elaine Tran from the Students’ Association of MacEwan University to discuss the issues they face and to highlight the great work their organizations are doing in our community.
