Reflecting this week on both my kids now being at university.
I don’t celebrate that they got into college as much as I celebrate they WANTED to go. They wanted to explore what education can truly provide them.
The challenge for them now is how they will see it as a path forward; to a role or to a possibility?
The first is more aligned to training, the second to what I think education should be for. From a career that has been in both arenas, I’m left with this thought:
Where training prepares you for what is expected; education prepares you for what isn’t.
… and more and more, I expect the world of work to be one where you’ll have to be able to navigate the unexpected.
If this made you think, pass it along.
