Vocational education can step in to areas where significant skill gaps are identified within business and industry. We talk with Mike Taylor, Director of the Advanced Technological Center at Old Dominion University, about the key elements vocational education provides in an ever-changing workforce.

We speak with Sara Lockett, Director of Career and Technical Education for Virginia Beach City Public Schools and David Swanger, Director of Virginia Beach Schools’ Vocational and Technical Center, about how "VoTech" has changed over the years. We’ll also explore what’s new in vocational education, and discuss how students entering the workforce with a certification have a 'leg up' on those with a four-year college degree.
