In this episode of the Disrupt Education Podcast, Peter Hostrawser and Alli Privitt dive into the importance of work-based learning and how it can transform education. Inspired by guest Kristy Volesky’s insights, they explore the pivotal role of middle school in allowing students to explore career pathways early, planting the seeds for future success. The conversation emphasizes how businesses can bridge the gap between schools and the workforce, creating internships and partnerships that give students real-world experiences.
Peter and Alli encourage educators and administrators to start small, taking actionable steps toward creating meaningful change in their districts. Whether through hands-on learning or internship opportunities, they highlight the importance of collaboration between schools, businesses, and students. The episode closes with a call to action—take that one idea, take a risk, and help students better understand their strengths and purpose in an evolving world.
