I was invited to participate in a panel discussion with some very important people who are trying to be truly helpful in finding people jobs, fixing the economy, and making sure education is valuable and relevant for career growth.
Listen to the recording, and you'll hear me offer up sage insights like "The business of business is business," and "you should always expect business to do what's in the best interest of business." as I challenge the leaders to do better, think harder, and create a better path to better education and better jobs.
