The Future of Learning and Work with Jaime Casap

In this episode, we are joined by Jaime Casap, former Chief Education Evangelist at Google. We discuss the evolving nature of learning and work, and why all students need to develop entrepreneurial attitudes and skills. Jaime challenges us to rethink how we prepare students for today's world, shifting the question from "What do you want to be when you grow up?" to "What problem do you want to solve, and what do you need to learn to solve it?"

How a Minnesota Teen Brought Her Entrepreneurial Spirit to Life

By the time Saint Paul College Business Instructor Linda Michel met Saint Paul Public Schools student Sandy Lee, the teen had already started two businesses—before age 17. 

Lee was enrolled in the Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program, which lets high schoolers earn college credits for free. She gravitated toward the entrepreneurial mindset in the Ice House model Michel uses within her course. 

Lee said that just as Uncle Cleve had responded to a need for ice during hot Mississippi summers in the book “Who Owns the Ice House: Eight Life Lessons from an Unlikely Entrepreneur,” she was giving her community products that filled a need—for affirming, empowering beauty products in her first business (selling lashes and clothing) and hard-to-find sweets in her second (selling mochi donuts).
