#014 -- The theory of change amongst many in the education reform space used to be that an excellent K -12 education would prepare students to get in to, persist in, and graduation from college, which would in turn be the key to economic mobility. We have found, however, that the next step in that equation—from school to career—is in many ways its own challenge, particularly for first generation college students, and for low-income, minority students. Today’s episode is the first in a three part mini-series that explores education to career. For the kickoff to the mini-series I’m joined by a very special guest--Paymon Rouhanifard, former Superintendent of Camden Public Schools in Camden, NJ, and the co-founder and CEO of Propel America, an organization that empowers students with the skills, experiences, credentials, and social networks necessary to transition from high school to an upwardly-mobile first job within one-year of high school graduation.
