Reskilling at Scale | Jamie Albers & David Timis

I know a lot of people who had to #reskill and carve out new career pathways for themselves. It is very difficult! When the education is there, employers are not. When the employers are willing, governmental support is missing. We have tons of amazing free online education. But it is not recognized by businesses. There are incredible people who took the leap, learned something totally new. They need work experience to get started, but an internship is only for “fresh” graduates. And while we are complaining about talent shortages, we are not really willing to employ someone who has so drastically changed their career. Let someone else try first…Today’s podcast is about #reskilling, #education and #meaningfulcareers.My guests are two amazing people who are passionate about changing the world of work. They provide education, identify career pathways and support the transition of those who are experiencing major career shifts: ➔Jamie Albers, the co-founder of Mento (https://www.mento.co/about)➔David Timis, the Global Communications Leader at Generation (https://www.generation.org/)To get in touch with them: - Jamie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiealbers/- David: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtimis/We will talk about:➔ The impact this past one and a half year has had on the job market➔ The harsh realities of career transitioning for the re-skilled➔ Transforming education to allow for multiple and diverse pathways throughout our lives➔ The 4Cs needed to succeed in the world of work❤️Help spread education for a resilient future!❤️Support the Skills for Mars podcast here:➜www.youtube.com/skillsformars​ (subscribe for free)➜www.podhero.com (subscription fees are shared with content creators)➜www.patreon.com/skillsformars​ (donations)- LinkedIn @skills for mars- Facebook @skillsformarswww.skillsformars.com
