The Future Of Work

Luke Meyer, the Director of Center of Excellence for Labor Market Research for the LA and Orange County regions, comes on the podcast today to discuss his work with bridging the gap between education and the workforce. He provides colleges with the essential labor market information that guides programs for students and partnerships for employers. He looks specifically at top demand middle skill and high skilled jobs that community college students are uniquely qualified for. This work ultimately leads to the alignment of what employers need and what our students are actually learning.

Jackie Javier, Manager of Work-Based Learning at Pasadena City College, returns to the podcast to share what she and her team has done to create opportunities during the pandemic. Summer is the most popular and often the only time a student has to get the all important internship. But this last summer, almost all internships shut down. Jackie and her team made the pivot and started working in overdrive to create programs, fairs, and panels that jump started employment and internship opportunities. They focused on helping historically marginalized student groups to close the equity gap and build infrastructure that tracks. Listen in to hear all that the Work-Based Learning team has done to empower their students and connect with employers in the age of Covid-19.

When we talk about equity and how to achieve it, it's often discussed in a "how to put it into practice" sort of way. But what if we could track a student's equity journey even after they leave the college and enter the workforce? Our guest Tanysha Laney tracks data for student success at Pasadena City College and she tells us just how we can make this type of tracking possible as well as the many other ways to leverage data to help students make successful choices for their future in work.
