Event details
For decades, the narrative has been the same: a university degree is the ultimate key to a successful career. But what if that's the most expensive lie you've ever been told? In a world where skills, equity, and real-world outcomes matter more than ever, the old model is broken. Learners are graduating with crippling debt and without the abilities employers actually need.
Join Jessica Winder, SVP of People, for a critical conversation that dismantles the myths of higher education. We’ll explore the widening gap between traditional degrees and career success, focusing on what truly empowers today's workforce: demonstrable skills, equitable opportunities, and a positive return on your education.
This is your chance to stop chasing prestige and start building real power.
The "Power" Gap: Why so many graduates with prestigious degrees still feel powerless in their careers and what to do about it.
Skills Over Status: Discover which skills employers are hiring for right now and how they outweigh a university's brand name.
The ROI of Learning: Learn how to evaluate education through a new lens—one that prioritizes career outcomes and financial freedom over debt and outdated traditions.
