Kelly got to speak with the incredible Ramona Schindelheim about the importance of reskilling to job mobility. Ramona is the editor in chief at WorkingNation, the executive producer and host of the Work in Progress podcast, and an award-winning journalist. 

Ramona believes a majorly important component to upskilling is what you can learn on the job.  

Big Takeaways: 

1. You really need to invest in the people who work for you to help them find what they're capable of. Listen to them when they say that they can do it and give them the opportunity to do it. 
2. Training their workforce is a smart move on the part of the employer. It’s an education benefit to their existing employees so they are going to get really good workers out of it while also putting really skilled people back out into the workforce.  
3. Higher education needs to somewhat reinvent itself to put the focus more on the outcome over career.
