One Big Idea: Shaun McAlmont on True Workforce Readiness from the Earliest Ages (S2E8)

If you could share One Big Idea to change the future of education, what would it be?

In the eighth episode of Future of School’s One Big Idea series, our guest is Dr. Shaun McAlmont, President of Career Learning Solutions at Stride, Inc. In this role, Dr. McAlmont manages all aspects of Stride's growing career readiness programs including the Destinations Career Academies. He is responsible for providing career readiness and workforce development solutions for students around the country that go beyond jobs traditionally aligned with vocational education to emerging new collar jobs of the future.

Dr. McAlmont shares his big idea of moving best practices from adult career learning to students at the youngest of ages. Every child has the right to explore and attain great careers, he shares, and it’s up to us as a society and an education system to help them get there. This idea includes rethinking credentialing, certifications, and more to better prepare students for jobs, careers, and life.
