@ckoglmeier He’s a marketing machine…would be happier if they fired him (would make a great headline)

Very proud of my friend and teammate for this award

Workers are more — and know more — than what's in their job descriptions.

👆for everyone doing reskilling and upskilling.

[Rachel Romer @Rachel_R_Romer]

Our team @GuildEducation just wrapped up our annual kickoff, and we're fired up. Here's what we discussed:

155M adults in the US lack a college degree or meaningful credential; 88M of them need formal upskilling or reskilling before they retire.

Here's what you need to know:

[Matt Survis @MattSurvis]

The antidote to division isn’t effective persuasion, but a willingness to reconsider your own point of view. It’s much easier said than done...

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It's rare to open people's minds by preaching and prosecuting ("I'm right, you're wrong!").

Instead of trying to score points in a debate, treat it like an interview.

Your role is to ask questions that help people consider their own reasons for change.

You don’t learn civics at a coding bootcamp.

It shouldn’t be a choice between obtaining employable skills OR a higher eduction. It should be a question about the best way to get BOTH.

The K-shaped recovery is multifaceted in nature

[Rachel Romer @Rachel_R_Romer]

New and devastating data is in, showing that college enrollment for low-income students is down by 29% since the pandemic. This will sadly crush social mobility for a generation if we don’t tackle it quickly:

We have a real problem in this country.

Excited that @GuildEducation made it on @Forbes #Cloud100 List for a second year in a row. We climbed 40 spots in one year thanks to our team's hard work and dedication to unlocking opportunity for America’s workforce. #oneteam #grateful ... https://t.co/AEvyhUxqgO

@bijal7 @KamalaHarris There is so much literature on the profound effects things like this have on the occupational identity of the next generation...I am hopeful we will see many more Kamalas in the future

[Matt Survis @MattSurvis]

So humbled and proud of this recognition. However, if COVID-19 has made anything readily apparent, it’s that there is still so much work to be done

[Guild @GuildEducation]

We're thrilled to be listed 23rd on the 2020 #Inc5000 list, which represents our commitment to scaling our business in the interest of supporting even more working adults on their path to education and upskilling opportunities. https://t.co/48JEVkgKaJ @Inc @Inc5000

This.

[Matt Survis @MattSurvis]

Not only is degree inflation potentially discriminatory, but for many roles it’s also myopic. The skills required to compete in the knowledge economy will come from myriad places

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Dear employers: stop requiring college degrees in job postings.

It systematically disadvantages those who acquire skills through alternative routes—especially people of color.

There's nothing you learn in college that you can't learn elsewhere.

Like all wicked problems, racial inequity is inextricably linked to other systemic problems...like the education achievement gap @amdulin https://t.co/bbskmduNdd

This is BIG news...it also needs to become the new norm

[Guild @GuildEducation]

Our partner @Walmart is expanding their education benefit program Live Better U to include tech and trades reskilling certificates through @eCornell_online @PennFoster & @SNHU for all part-time and full-time associates, starting on their first day of work. https://t.co/uArTRYNZbC

Requiring universal articulation among institutions with the same accreditor is a great idea, but it will never happen 1/

They say you can’t fully understand a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. That may be true, but I believe it’s every human’s responsibility to try
