Where Policy Meets People

Where Policy Meets People


Congratulations to the Class of 2021! Now what?

July 17, 2021

It is graduation season and adults from all walks of life are heading into (or back into) the job market with new credentials.  While some are 21 year-olds with four-year undergrad degrees, many more are young people completing high school diplomas after a pause in their education.  Still others are adults completing that post-secondary degree to get ahead or make a new start.  So what skills do you need to succeed in the labor these days? H. Patrick Clancy of Philadelphia Works, Inc. talks stackable credentials and preparing for that pandemic-proof job and Leslie Ballway of Peirce College shares advice on job search and why we all need to be life-long learners.  Class of 2021 grads Camille, Virgilio, Sam and Nicholas share their educational journeys, hopes and goals for their next steps.
