"What do you require?" is one of the foundational questions we ask OhHeyCoach clients before we dive into our coaching engagements. In this episode, you will find tools to help you self-coach by asking this and a few other provocative questions.

Faced with steep enrollment declines and growing competition, two leading institutions in postsecondary education and workforce development are making big changes to outdated approaches to better serve students, workers and industries. 

In this episode, journalist Paul Fain talks to Mordecai Brownlee, president of the Community College of Aurora, about the college’s decision to eliminate many degree and credentialing programs with limited economic opportunities, while launching new programs co-designed with industry partners. Meanwhile, Peter Callstrom, president and CEO of the San Diego Workforce Partnership, tells Paul how his organization has joined forces with local public schools to strengthen support for career navigation for youth, starting as early as elementary school. These innovations carry major policy implications, as described by Karishma Merchant, JFF’s associate vice president of policy and advocacy, at the conclusion of the episode.

This is an extraordinary episode of The Career Clinic Podcast. It is rooted in honesty, transparency, and truth. It was inspired by a private conversation between friends, which has become a way of better living. We're sharing this with you in hopes that it might have a similar impact. 

We have an exceptional person in our guest chair, Lydia Mercer, Founder of The (Un)Learning Space.  Lydia's transparency and wisdom make this episode one that will live in my heart and mind for years (I've already listened to it more than seven times).

 As the world continues to change at a rapid pace, the job market is changing, too. With these changes comes the need for educational institutions and other non-traditional talent pipelines to keep up with the seemingly constant growth and evolution. In this episode, Tameshia discusses the challenges many young people are still facing when it comes to building a successful career, or even choosing the right path to begin with.

Reviewing clips from three different Horizons 2021 conversations, Tameshia discusses how there is an urgent need for policy changes, increased investment, and a more equitable and cohesive journey from educational institutions to the workforce. The episode will explore what’s still standing in the way of career success for many people, and how we can work together to help to streamline the process of career navigation.

The journey from learning to earning can be ambiguous and unstructured. To complete the trek successfully, you have to engage in what’s often called career navigation.

Knowing how to approach career navigation is especially important for young people—our country’s future talent. And that’s the topic JFF addresses in the third episode of our Horizons podcast. Host Tameshia Bridges Mansfield first shares insights from Gorick Ng, author of The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right. Then workforce development experts Suzan LeVine and Mary Alice McCarthy explore youth apprenticeship. And finally, David Coleman, the CEO of the College Board, talks about rethinking the impact of the SATs.
