Build Momentum: Thought Leadership for Education Global Workforce Edition
Welcome to Season 4 of the Build Momentum podcast where exciting changes are on the horizon! Dr. Katie Lash, who recently transitioned from her role at the East Central Educational Service Center to become the Vice President of K-14 and Strategic Initiatives at Ivy Tech, is embarking on a new chapter in her career. We're incredibly excited for her and eagerly anticipate her return as a guest on the show!
While Dr. Lash moves into her new role, our strong Indiana connection continues. This season, we're thrilled to introduce Chad Bolser, Chancellor of Ivy Tech, as our new co-host. Chad's extensive experience working with Ivy Tech, the largest singly accredited community college in the country, and his collaborations with school districts across Indiana and beyond, make him an invaluable addition to our podcast.
Together with Chad, we're launching a workforce development series where we will engage with CTE directors, superintendents, and thought leaders, exploring the evolution of workforce development, strategies that are making an impact, and how these leaders are sharing these success stories within the broader education community. We'll uncover how these leaders are leveraging key partnerships, engaging community stakeholders while also leveraging media to authentically share their story and share their impact.
Tune in for new episodes every other Thursday, available on Spotify, iTunes, or your preferred listening platform as we explore the evolution of workforce development in K-12 education.
