There is a lot to learn on each side about career education. So on this episode, we're going to the USA to speak with Jason Altmire, President and Chief Executive Officer of Career Education Colleges and Universities about how their system works and explore lessons for Canadian institutions.

"What's your dream? Pick your dream and pick your course"

It really can be as simple as that. Career Colleges of Ontario have a long history dating back to the 1800s. But just because they date back that far doesn't mean they aren't at the cutting edge of innovation and technology.

That's what Ari Laskin, CEO of Career Colleges Ontario is here to talk about today.

“…sometimes the higher you climb up the ladder the harder it is to jump to another ladder.”

It’s not easy to climb the corporate ladder…and can be even higher to jump it. But, there are plenty of opportunities to climb it if you put the right skills to work. What are those skills in tourism? We have David Goldstein on the podcast to discuss just that.

“It’s the one thing I wish I would have done when I was younger, and it’s the one thing I wish for my kids. Compound interest."

Just like with your finances, the power of compounding is huge. And one can never underestimate how 'getting things done' is as a skill set. To talk about financial literacy, and being known for 'getting things done' we have Kevin McCarthy, Head, of Corporations and Institutions at Enriched Academy.

The world of education and credentials is changing. Employers are no longer just looking for a certain degree from a certain school. They're looking to see that you have the right skills and that you are a T-shaped leader. What is that, exactly? On this episode of the EDUP Canada podcast Krista Pawley of Wavemakers explores just that.
