SUMMARY:[FAN] The Career Arts: Making the Most of College\, Credentials\, and Connections Ben Wildavsky
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 9\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, The Career Arts: Making the Most of College\, Credentials\, and\nConnections\, a FAN webinar featuring Ben Wildavsky\, in conversation with Sara Allan. \n\nRegister: www.bit.ly/WildavskyFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Career Arts from FAN’s partner bookseller\nThe Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Wildavsky and Allan that will start\nimmediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nYoung people coming out of high school today can expect to hold many jobs over the course of their lives\, which\nis why they need a range of essential skills. Ben Wildavsky’s new book The Career Arts: Making the Most of\nCollege\, Credentials\, and Connections provides a corrective to the widespread and misleading notion that\nthere is a direct trade-off between going to college and acquiring practical job skills. Wildavsky cuts through the\nnoise and anxiety surrounding this issue to offer sensible\, clear-eyed guidance for anyone who is making\ndecisions about education and career preparation with a view to getting ahead in the workforce. \nDrawing on evidence-based research\, illuminating case studies\, and in-depth interviews\, Wildavsky shares the\nmost vital lessons of what he calls the career arts\, which include cultivating a mix of broad and targeted skills\,\ntaking advantage of employer-funded education benefits\, and preparing for the world as it is\, not as you wish it\ncould be. He explains why college remains the gold standard of credentials and presents the most promising\nhigh-quality supplements and alternatives to college that can help learners combine general and job-specific\nskills. He shows how building social capital is also critical to success\, particularly for disadvantaged students. \nWildavsky is a visiting scholar at the University of Virginia’s School of Education and Human Development. He is\nthe award-winning author of The Great Brain Race and coeditor of Reinventing Higher Education and\nMeasuring Success. He is the host and coproducer of the Higher Ed Spotlight podcast. \nWildavsky will be in conversation with Sara Allan\, the incoming president of the Valhalla Foundation. Before\nValhalla\, Allan was the director in the U.S. Education Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. She\njoined the foundation in 2011. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
