Job Centered Learning

Availability information for this program

Though there has been much discussion about a strengthening U.S. economy, many economists, business owners, and labor leaders have raised alarm about a rising skills gap between the jobs that are available and those with the skills needed to fill them. Job Centered Learning, produced by Bob Gliner (Lessons From the Real World, Schools That Change Communities, Walk the Walk) takes a critical look at the role high schools play in both perpetuating this gap as well as the wide range of career education some schools are offering as a way of both closing this gap as well as making education more meaningful and relevant for students.
