Description

The world of work is changing rapidly, and the expectations we and our parents had for the workforce, both in what skills are needed to succeed, as well as what to expect over the course of a career have changed. Gone are the days where you could plot your course straight out of college solely based on the degree you've obtained. Our kids are living in a new world where technology has changed the playing field, soft skills are valued more than ever, and change is the only constant. In this episode, I talk with Chandra Brie Cox about the interactive, community-based online youth program she's developed to help teen girls develop the skills needed for tomorrow's workforce.About the Guest:Chandra Cox is an education consultant providing professional development for K-12 educators focused on creating empathetic learning communities, improving classroom dialogue, increasing student engagement, and creating innovative curriculum. She is also the Chair of Youth Programs at ZADASI, where she has developed an interactive, online youth program in which teen girls can connect and build community with peers, while learning about entrepreneurship and working on important skills such as creativity, communication, and critical thinking. Chandra is a lifelong learner who loves making an impact in education and helping teens gain confidence, improve their skills, and find their passions so that they can share their gifts with the world.
