How do we prepare students for jobs that don't exist yet?
In this episode of Lessons Learned, host Matt tackles this question with Chike Aguh, Senior Advisor of The Project on Workforce at Harvard. As a former Chief Innovation Officer at the U.S. Department of Labor and nationally recognized education leader, Chike has seen firsthand what it takes to align K–12 learning with the demands of today’s economy.
From apprenticeships and technical education to AI and emerging technologies, he makes the case for a future-ready system that prepares students for both opportunity and disruption.
Together, we explore key topics such as:
- Why work-based learning and CTE are critical to building economic mobility
- How AI and emerging tech will reshape the future of learning and work
- What it means to lead with trust, shared purpose, and empowered execution
- How states like Ohio and Louisiana are building effective education–workforce pipelines
- What the U.S. can learn from global models like Switzerland’s apprenticeship system
Quote of the Show:
- “ What I'm hopeful for is always—no matter how challenging the circumstance—there is someone who is teaching and there are students who are learning.” - Chike Aguh
