Are we preparing students for life or just preparing them to pass? In this second episode of the Disrupt Education x YouScience series, Peter Hostrawser and Alli Dah team up again with Talent Pipeline Specialist Jason Van Nus to uncover how schools and industry can finally work together to build purpose-driven education that actually leads somewhere. What’s Inside:

- Why 77% of students say they would’ve been more engaged if they understood their aptitudes earlier

- How to bridge the massive trust gap between education and employer

- Real stories of students turning aptitudes into purpose — including one high schooler who used his YouScience results to start his own business and hire another student

- Why data—not guesswork—must guide how we prepare future talent

- The new definition of “career ready”: when students know who they are, what they’re built for, and where they fit

This episode challenges everything you thought you knew about career readiness and shows why every student deserves an “X on the map” — a clear, personalized path from classroom to career.

Listen now to learn how educators and industries can align purpose, data, and opportunity to help students not just graduate—but launch.Learn more about YouScience and how they’re helping every student become connected and ready: www.youscience.com/disrupteducation-podcast
