A PODCAST WITH TIPS FOR JOB SEEKERS
EWDD General Manager Carolyn Hull was recently the featured guest of the Future of Work, a podcast hosted by Pasadena Community College that explores how to close the gap between what students are learning and the demands of the workforce.
Titled “How to Become A Lifelong Learner in an Ever Changing Industry,” Ms. Hull’s episode covered how EWDD is prioritizing expanding youth employment programs and supporting training programs in growth industry sectors. She also emphasized the importance of adopting a mentality of lifelong learning in order for workers to continue to have relevant skills in the workplace.
“Those days of getting that degree and working at one company for the next 20, 30 years is probably not the future. And what is important is that we all upskill at various points, and as a result, we need to support the ability to utilize the latest technology, like AI.”
She added, “We really want our private sector partners to understand that we want to provide people with living wage jobs and we want to give people an opportunity to succeed. Maybe they didn't go to the fanciest schools, but they've had life experience. And to really look at life experience and to give credit for that so we can move people into these middle skill jobs.”
