In this episode, Joel Vargas, a friend of CAPS Network, joins us for a broad discussion on the state of career-connected learning. Serving as the Vice President of Education at Jobs for the Future (JFF), Vargas has diligently worked to enhance pathways for students within the American education systems. He delves into the origins and present status of 'The Big Blur', a term made popular across the ecosystem by his team at JFF. At the core of the conversation lies the recognition that the enduring disconnect between high school, higher education, and our workforce systems is the biggest structural barrier to increasing college completion rates and career success.
