Voices of Student Success: Helping Gen Z Navigate Future Careers

Listen to this powerful episode of The Key from Inside Higher Ed featuring Jane Swift, president of Education at Work, on preparing Gen Z for the jobs of the future — and it’s a must-hear for anyone working at the intersection of education and workforce.

Work-based learning doesn’t just help students – as Jane says, “Our model fills current workforce gaps in places that companies are struggling to recruit full-time employees.” Education at Work students working part-time for Fortune 500 companies like Intuit — in roles designed to prioritize their education — aren’t just meeting expectations. They’re exceeding the performance metrics required of full-time staff and traditional outsourced models.

This is what it looks like when we reimagine talent pipelines to benefit both students and employers.
