MarketScale Announces the Return of DisruptED

 

MarketScale is excited to announce the return of podcast series DisruptED with hosts Ron Stefanski and Caesar Mickens Jr., Ph.D starting Tuesday April 12th, 2022.

“DisruptED” is a podcast that understands the reality we live in. Thoughtful, riveting, and uplifting, the show centers on the disruption caused by the pandemic, technology, and globalization in education.

In this age of “The Great Resignation,” employees are quitting their jobs to find upward movement in a market that is trying to find skills that don’t exist yet. How do we manage this? Where do we go from here? Who is leading whom?

Co-hosts Ron Stefanski, who is a career educator and workforce development leader in the private and public sector and has spent his entire career in the education field and Dr. Caesar Mickens, who is a specialist in adult education and professional development and has led public-private partnerships to increased access to educational opportunities for at-risk youth and adults, have extensive knowledge in and around the education system today, allowing them to inform expertise throughout the podcast series.

The premier episode brings on guest Karin Norington-Reaves, a leader in workforce development to talk about her success in blending private and public entities and giving opportunity back to the workforce.

The guest list for the season also includes David Lawrence and Jeffrey Mims Jr. and their roles in helping youth in education, Smart Horizons Career Education Online Kari Greenfield and Dr. Howard Liebman, COO of Automation Alley Pavan Muzumdar, and Liberty Educational Service Center’s Tom Kelly.

To get to the bottom of disruption and find out what’s next for the future of education and workforce development, tune in to the new episode of DisruptED April 12th here.
