    Maximizing College Credentials and Connections for Career Success

    In the realm of higher education, many believe there’s a necessary tradeoff between acquiring a degree and gaining practical job skills. However, Ben Wildavsky, host of the “Higher Ed Spotlight” podcast and author of “The Career Arts: Making the Most of College, Credentials, and Connections,” challenges this misconception, making the case that higher education isn’t as simple as choosing between two binary options. Wildavsky argues that the traditional view of higher education as a choice between theoretical knowledge and practical experience is both outdated and limiting. He emphasizes that both elements are essential for building valuable connections and achieving career success. Rather than viewing educational experiences in isolation, he advocates for a diverse approach that allows students to benefit from a variety of learning experiences to build their human capital and work towards a successful career.  To learn more about Career Education Colleges & Universities, visit our website.

    How CEOs are helping every New Yorker make it

    How can some of the biggest companies across New York find skilled workers to fill gaps in their workforce? Guest Kiersten Barnet may have answers. She is the Executive Director of the New York Jobs CEO Council, an organization made up of some of the biggest CEOs in New York. She tells host Jason Altmire that her organization is aiming to build a workforce and education system in New York City that benefits both workers and employers. Barnet explains that they create connections between New York CEOs and local talent from New York schools with the goal of hiring 100,000 low-income New Yorkers by 2030. They offer opportunities for high school and college students to pursue apprenticeships in their area of interest, opening a pathway to eventually securing a full-time job at that company. These opportunities can help to overcome barriers that New York students face in getting a degree, as they can get paid in a job in their field while they learn.  To learn more about Career Education Colleges & Universities, visit our website.

    Are For-Profit Colleges Being Unfairly Targeted?

    Biden administration officials at the Department of Education are engaging in a pattern of unfair regulatory scrutiny of for-profit institutions without applying the same scrutiny to other sectors, Michael Brickman tells host Jason Altmire. Michael is an adjunct fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and education policy director and senior fellow at the Cicero Institute with extensive experience in higher education. A former senior advisor to the U.S. Undersecretary of Education under President Trump, Brickman, says the Department often identifies a for-profit entity to raise concerns about, leading to members of Congress asking an external group to investigate. Brickman claims critics or members of Congress will then use these reports to create a snowball effect against the entire sector, leading to stringent regulations and, ultimately, government overreach of the for-profit sector.

    Why Kindness is Key to Leadership Success and Happy Employees

    What if the key to effective leadership, communication and fostering good culture is as simple as just being nice? It may be, according to author and business owner Winn Claybaugh. He’s the founder, co-owner, and dean of Paul Mitchell Schools, a group with more than 100 cosmetology or barbering schools throughout the United States. He tells host Jason Almire that his widely-acclaimed self-help book, “Be Nice (Or Else!),” still resonates more than 20 years and a pandemic later. Winn tells Jason that, while his background is in cosmetology and barbering, this idea of prioritizing kindness can translate to every industry because it goes to the heart of a fundamental need — people wanting to enjoy their job. He says the best leaders take responsibility for the culture of a workplace and use their influence to focus not just on systems, but making employees feel like they belong. And with that sense of belonging, he argues productivity and profits increase while absenteeism diminishes. To learn more about Career Education Colleges & Universities, visit our website.
