Description
Is our higher‑education system doing enough to meet the real needs of today’s job market? With a serious shortage of skilled workers across key industries, many are asking whether we’ve overinvested in traditional academia and underinvested in skill‑based training.
On this episode of Defending Ideas, Nic Dunn sits down with Illinois Policy Institute Head of Policy Josh Bandoch to discuss his new paper, Beyond Degrees: Empowering Illinoisans through career-first education. They explore the notion of adopting a career‑first mindset in education with apprenticeships playing a central role—rebalancing our system to lift more people into dignified, in‑demand professions.
