Managing Director, Career Development and Employability
I lead a team building learning solutions for high school, higher ed, and adult learners.
As the managing director of employability solutions, I work with a team to build out learning solutions and services that help students in high school and higher education and provide career readiness for adults. I identify, negotiate, and grow industry association partnerships. I gather customer insights in order to define the problems that need to be solved and ensure solutions are built with a plan to measure learner outcomes through data analytics. I also attend speaking events.

Explore your options and experiment with different possibilities. However, try to do this exploration as cheaply as you can. If you are unsure about what you want to do, then go to a community college or take vocational classes.
