Workers are more — and know more — than what's in their job descriptions.
👆for everyone doing reskilling and upskilling.

Our team @GuildEducation just wrapped up our annual kickoff, and we're fired up. Here's what we discussed:
155M adults in the US lack a college degree or meaningful credential; 88M of them need formal upskilling or reskilling before they retire.
Here's what you need to know:
The antidote to division isn’t effective persuasion, but a willingness to reconsider your own point of view. It’s much easier said than done...
It's rare to open people's minds by preaching and prosecuting ("I'm right, you're wrong!").
Instead of trying to score points in a debate, treat it like an interview.
Your role is to ask questions that help people consider their own reasons for change.

You don’t learn civics at a coding bootcamp.
It shouldn’t be a choice between obtaining employable skills OR a higher eduction. It should be a question about the best way to get BOTH.
The K-shaped recovery is multifaceted in nature
New and devastating data is in, showing that college enrollment for low-income students is down by 29% since the pandemic. This will sadly crush social mobility for a generation if we don’t tackle it quickly:

Excited that @GuildEducation made it on @Forbes #Cloud100 List for a second year in a row. We climbed 40 spots in one year thanks to our team's hard work and dedication to unlocking opportunity for America’s workforce. #oneteam #grateful ... forbes.com/cloud100
So humbled and proud of this recognition. However, if COVID-19 has made anything readily apparent, it’s that there is still so much work to be done
We're thrilled to be listed 23rd on the 2020 #Inc5000 list, which represents our commitment to scaling our business in the interest of supporting even more working adults on their path to education and upskilling opportunities. fal.cn/39Heg @Inc @Inc5000
Not only is degree inflation potentially discriminatory, but for many roles it’s also myopic. The skills required to compete in the knowledge economy will come from myriad places
Dear employers: stop requiring college degrees in job postings.
It systematically disadvantages those who acquire skills through alternative routes—especially people of color.
There's nothing you learn in college that you can't learn elsewhere.

Like all wicked problems, racial inequity is inextricably linked to other systemic problems...like the education achievement gap @amdulin www-forbes-com.cdn.ampprojec…
Not bad company to be in...@GuildEducation selected to @CNBC’s Disruptor 50 List! #Disruptor50

This is BIG news...it also needs to become the new norm
Our partner @Walmart is expanding their education benefit program Live Better U to include tech and trades reskilling certificates through @eCornell_online @PennFoster & @SNHU for all part-time and full-time associates, starting on their first day of work. fal.cn/38xBD

Requiring universal articulation among institutions with the same accreditor is a great idea, but it will never happen 1/
The average transfer student currently loses 43% of their previously earned credits. This happens even when they switch schools overseen by the same college accreditor.
Here's one proposal to ameliorate this problem that surely needs to be addressed.

They say you can’t fully understand a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. That may be true, but I believe it’s every human’s responsibility to try
This should turn some heads 👀
Spoke to @andersoncooper & @drsanjaygupta. It went great. @AC360
