Show Notes:

In this episode of The Bridge to Tomorrow’s Talent, Chief of Staff Zachary Hill speaks with Tomorrow’s Talent President and CEO Ginger Ontiveros and Founder Dr. Dale Marsden about the growing disconnect between education and the real world of work. They share how Tomorrow’s Talent is building the bridge between schools and employers and why this work is essential for preparing students for meaningful careers.

Ginger and Dale explain why today’s workforce challenges require a new approach, how an intermediary helps educators and employers collaborate more effectively, and why early exposure to real work experiences is one of the strongest drivers of student engagement and confidence.

They also discuss their personal motivations for this mission, the risks of student disengagement, and the practical steps that educators, employers, and students can take right now to close the gap.

You will learn:

• Why no system takes full responsibility for student outcomes after graduation and why that needs to change

• How Tomorrow’s Talent connects education, employers, and students in a coordinated way

• How early internships and real world experiences help students discover interests and build clarity

• What educators can do today to help students prepare for in demand careers
