Dr. Eric Stephens helps people transition from education to industry. Go to https://www.changehighered.org

During a pandemic we have an ethical obligation to help other people find work.

• Education does have a bottom line.
• There is a lack of communication between academia and industry.
• Industry: recognize this has never happened before.
• Job seeker: Just because I have a degree and experience, doesn’t mean that I am the best candidate.
• How to translate what we do to be valuable.
• People in education value different things than those in industry.
• Every educator is self-employed!
• Educators need to understand their value and describe their work in their jargon.
• Articulating those skills in a way to make your opportunity make sense.
• Not everybody that can teach can learn.
• How to get people to want to listen to you?
• Connect with Eric on LinkedIn.
