by | Aug 15, 2025 | Video, Working Learners

The big picture:

Many working learners land in programs that don’t fit and stop out, sometimes multiple times.

Why it matters:

Aligning education with natural aptitudes boosts persistence, completion, and job readiness while filling talent gaps in tech, manufacturing, finance, engineering.

What’s needed:

  • Measure aptitudes early
  • Expand real-world exposure
  • Connect programs to careers
  • Honor prior learning
  • Show clear personal ROI

Bottom line:

When learners see a path that fits who they are, they stick, finish, and thrive.
