Dunwoody College of Technology<\/a>, a private, non-profit institution and pioneer in technical education, today announces the launch of an original podcast that will explore how working in partnership can create positive impact in our communities. Hosted by Dunwoody President Rich Wagner, “Technically Speaking with Dunwoody College<\/a>” begins streaming June 2 on Apple Podcasts<\/a>, or wherever podcasts are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each episode will bring together leaders in industry, education, and government for an open and results-driven dialogue around the complex issues of today\u2019s ever-widening skills gap, income gap, and achievement gap. The podcast will explore how partnerships between organizations can be created and strengthened as we work together to make a difference in our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDunwoody has been around since 1914 and has always met challenges with solutions,\u201d Wagner said. \u201cOur experience and perspective on things like closing the achievement gap, income gap, and skills gap is evolving as we grapple with the post pandemic reality. The importance of partnerships to address these challenges is critical to helping identify solutions to support Minnesota\u2019s and our nation\u2019s economy. These are also challenges I have a deep interest in and look forward to discussing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first episode, Wagner speaks with Vicki Holt, manufacturing executive and former CEO of Protolabs, and Kimberly Randolph, Vice President of Energy Supply, Projects for Xcel Energy, for a conversation around how industry and education partnerships can address the skills gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversation explores the ways in which partnerships are already working, where opportunities for new partnerships exist, and what role each side plays in making them successful on helping to close the skills gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to a trailer<\/a> of the episode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future episodes will continue to explore issues affecting employers and the workforce; including the value of a college degree, the perceptions around the skilled trades, and the impact of evolving technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversations with organizations and entities around partnerships is something Dunwoody College has always embraced. By turning those conversations into podcasts, the College hopes to spotlight solutions, reach a broader audience, and inspire dialogue among others in our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
