[Zane] I'm navigatingthrough a dark tunnel,
5
00:00:18,101 --> 00:00:20,687
and it just keeps goingand it keeps going.
6
00:00:23,356 --> 00:00:25,483
That's what my life was at the time.
7
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:29,946
Just a dark tunnel, just keep going,and I couldn't see the end of it.
8
00:00:30,905 --> 00:00:33,700
I would stop sometimeswhen there was some light,
9
00:00:35,618 --> 00:00:38,413
but then I would just continuedown that dark tunnel.
10
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:43,585
{\an8}The only time I would get to the endis at the end of my day.
11
00:00:43,668 --> 00:00:46,463
{\an8}I would go home and sleep and eat,
12
00:00:46,546 --> 00:00:49,924
and then get ready for the next dayof going through a dark tunnel.
13
00:00:51,593 --> 00:00:53,803
It didn't feel good to wake upto go to work.
14
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:56,306
I wasn't happy about going to work.
15
00:00:57,307 --> 00:00:58,850
I wanted better for myself.
16
00:01:00,769 --> 00:01:02,687
Financial freedom.
17
00:01:03,855 --> 00:01:05,190
Generational wealth.
18
00:01:06,274 --> 00:01:07,358
Freedom in general.
19
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:09,069
Happiness.
20
00:01:09,694 --> 00:01:11,821
Those are the things that I'm looking for.
21
00:01:25,293 --> 00:01:26,920
[man 1] Clearly, the economy is slowing.
22
00:01:27,003 --> 00:01:29,547
[man 2] We felt that there are
significant supply shortages.
23
00:01:29,631 --> 00:01:32,008
{\an8}We're seeing a uniquely volatile market.
24
00:01:32,091 --> 00:01:34,803
{\an8}A slow dance into a recession.
25
00:01:34,886 --> 00:01:37,180
[man 3] It's not just10,000 jobs being cut.
26
00:01:37,263 --> 00:01:41,559
[man 4] …inflation, and one of the areasthat's been hit the hardest is food.
27
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:44,771
[woman 1] 38% of people last yeardid not get the medical care they needed
28
00:01:44,854 --> 00:01:46,397
because it was too expensive.
29
00:01:46,481 --> 00:01:48,942
[woman 2] Talking about the issueof widespread homelessness.
30
00:01:49,025 --> 00:01:51,361
[man 5] The net worthof the median household
31
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:53,780
is nothing, basically.
32
00:01:53,863 --> 00:01:55,782
[woman 3] Does it get tothe root of the issue,
33
00:01:55,865 --> 00:01:57,200
which is rising tuition costs?
34
00:01:57,283 --> 00:01:59,869
[man 6] 43% of studentsthat go to school today don't graduate.
35
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:02,455
The entire system needs to be reinvented.
36
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:05,875
[man 7] We arein the middle of an AI arms race
37
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:07,544
that heats up more and more every day.
38
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:10,713
[man 8] It does underscorehow tight the labor market is.
39

{\an8}[exhales deeply]
41
00:02:29,399 --> 00:02:31,151
{\an8}Okay, I can do this.
42
00:02:31,985 --> 00:02:33,945
{\an8}Hi, my name is Megan Sampson.
43
00:02:34,028 --> 00:02:37,240
I'm a software development student at…
Wait, wait, wait.
44
00:02:39,492 --> 00:02:41,327
Hi, my name is Megan Sampson.
45
00:02:41,411 --> 00:02:42,495
I'm an entrepreneur
46
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:45,039
and software development student
at Year Up.
47
00:02:45,123 --> 00:02:48,042
Currently, I am learning UX design…
48
00:02:48,126 --> 00:02:49,210
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
49
00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:51,921
{\an8}I'm assuming
you want me to sit right here.
50
00:02:56,259 --> 00:02:57,260
{\an8}[man] All right.
51
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:03,600
My name is Brianna Dyer.
52
00:03:05,184 --> 00:03:07,312
{\an8}Where do you want me to actually look?
53
00:03:07,395 --> 00:03:08,771
{\an8}[man] Pretty much down the barrel.
54
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:11,107
{\an8}- Straight to camera?
- Yes, straight to camera.
55
00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:13,359
{\an8}Scene alpha, take 1, soft sticks.
56
00:03:18,072 --> 00:03:20,700
[Janai Jeter]
I see all these opportunities.
57
00:03:20,783 --> 00:03:23,870
Just like this street, right?
As if this was an island.
58
00:03:25,079 --> 00:03:29,626
This building that we are adjacent to
has so many companies in it.
59
00:03:30,376 --> 00:03:33,671
{\an8}So that means it looks like
all they have to do is cross the street.
60
00:03:33,755 --> 00:03:35,423
{\an8}But there's a divider here.
61
00:03:37,175 --> 00:03:39,636
And for some folks, we don't see it.
62
00:03:40,261 --> 00:03:42,096
They don't see how there's a divide.
63
00:03:43,181 --> 00:03:46,476
For some of them, it's like,
"Just get it. It's here. It's out here."
64
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:49,687
But there's a barrier
that's stopping them from getting there.
65
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:53,858
Once we, as a coach,
understand what those barriers are,
66
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:56,653
we can understand
how there's an opportunity divide.
67
00:03:59,405 --> 00:04:01,950
[Gerald Chertavian]
Imagine if we had an interview process
68
00:04:02,033 --> 00:04:04,911
that measured people
for how long they traveled
69
00:04:04,994 --> 00:04:06,454
just to get to the starting point.
70
00:04:08,873 --> 00:04:11,876
{\an8}A lot of people in this country
are not only born on the starting line,
71
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,878
{\an8}but were born 50 yards down the road.
72
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:18,758
Imagine if we could assess people
on the journey they had to travel
73
00:04:18,841 --> 00:04:21,761
just to get to the place
where they could be interviewed.
74
00:04:23,846 --> 00:04:25,014
[exhales]
75
00:04:37,443 --> 00:04:39,988
{\an8}[man] So, tell me
a little bit about yourself, Megan.
76
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:44,117
Well, I have been learning
front and back end,
77
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,078
as well as data engineering and UX design.
78
00:04:47,161 --> 00:04:49,289
So, that's a little about me.
79
00:04:50,081 --> 00:04:53,418
I'm interested in what you can offer
as a front-end developer.
80
00:04:54,752 --> 00:04:58,423
[Megan] Well, I'm very innovative
and I work well with others,
81
00:04:58,506 --> 00:05:01,592
so I think that I can be
a great product to your team.
82
00:05:01,676 --> 00:05:03,553
[man] That's great. Any questions for me?
83
00:05:04,262 --> 00:05:05,596
Um, also,
84
00:05:06,472 --> 00:05:08,308
what are…
85
00:05:09,392 --> 00:05:15,148
Um, what is the day and day life
of, uh, rocket science?
86
00:05:15,231 --> 00:05:16,733
[all laughing]
87
00:05:16,816 --> 00:05:18,818
Believe it or not,
a lot of the work is remote.
88
00:05:18,901 --> 00:05:21,070
- Well, um, I'll be in touch.
- Thank you.
89
00:05:22,030 --> 00:05:23,364
They'll be in touch…
90
00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:24,824
- Great.
- [all cheering]
91
00:05:24,907 --> 00:05:26,117
"I'll be in touch."
92
00:05:27,076 --> 00:05:29,704
[Jeter] So, feedback for our interviewee.
93
00:05:29,787 --> 00:05:33,875
Well, I feel like when he asked her,
"Tell me about yourself."
94
00:05:33,958 --> 00:05:35,001
[continues imperceptibly]
95
00:05:35,084 --> 00:05:37,086
[indistinct conversations]
96
00:06:23,841 --> 00:06:27,428
We are in New York,
the financial capital of the world.
97
00:06:33,101 --> 00:06:35,394
{\an8}Some of you will show up
to an internship site
98
00:06:35,478 --> 00:06:36,854
{\an8}and you will think to yourself,
99
00:06:36,938 --> 00:06:41,567
{\an8}"No one in this room
has had the same journey that I had.
100
00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:47,448
"These people had it made already."
101
00:06:47,532 --> 00:06:50,284
"They've got a degree
from Harvard, Yale, Princeton."
102
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:52,453
"They've been here for a very long time."
103
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:54,914
"Their dad or their mom
worked at this company."
104
00:06:56,124 --> 00:07:00,253
They live in some very nice neighborhood
in Manhattan."
105
00:07:04,006 --> 00:07:05,466
The reality of it is
106
00:07:06,676 --> 00:07:08,386
they wake up every morning,
107
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:11,097
they've gotta say to themselves,
108
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:14,142
"I'm going to show up
and I'm going to be excellent."
109
00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:19,188
And the only thing that separates them
from you, in most cases…
110
00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:22,692
is mindset.
111
00:07:28,197 --> 00:07:31,534
We have a system that really focuses on
112
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:37,331
{\an8}an extremely narrow set of pathways
into decent, well-paying jobs,
113
00:07:37,415 --> 00:07:41,586
{\an8}at a time when there are
more ways to learn how to do things
114
00:07:41,669 --> 00:07:43,838
than there ever have been before.
115
00:07:43,921 --> 00:07:46,507
I hear so often some version of
116
00:07:46,591 --> 00:07:49,469
"I know what I can do,
but no one will give me a chance."
117
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:53,556
But why does it have to be that way?
118
00:07:55,391 --> 00:08:01,564
We're now in a world where you've got
70 million people in this country
119
00:08:01,647 --> 00:08:03,316
who do have high-school degrees,
120
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:06,486
they have all sorts of skills,
but they don't have college degrees.
121
00:08:07,069 --> 00:08:12,283
And they're being excluded from about 70%
of the new jobs that are being created.
122
00:08:13,534 --> 00:08:17,622
{\an8}We have this situation where you have
the most opportunity that's ever existed,
123
00:08:17,705 --> 00:08:20,166
{\an8}but it's hard to figure out
which pathway gets you there.
124
00:08:20,249 --> 00:08:23,377
{\an8}Sometimes, the credential requirements
don't really capture
125
00:08:23,461 --> 00:08:25,796
{\an8}what is gonna make someone successful
in a job.
126
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,966
{\an8}Right now, there's about
seven million jobs that go unfilled
127
00:08:29,050 --> 00:08:32,345
{\an8}because there aren't people that have
the actual credentials to do them,
128
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:34,305
{\an8}but they may have the skills.
129
00:08:34,388 --> 00:08:37,475
We see that number
beginning to grow exponentially.
130
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:44,899
{\an8}Closing that gap is what's gonna allow us
to have a better economy going forward.
131
00:08:44,982 --> 00:08:49,403
{\an8}If American business doesn't figure out
how to solve this opportunity gap,
132
00:08:49,487 --> 00:08:50,446
{\an8}we're gonna suffer.
133
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:52,782
{\an8}We won't grow as much,
we won't be as successful.
134
00:08:52,865 --> 00:08:56,077
{\an8}After all these years,
most of us should be raising hands saying,
135
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,871
{\an8}"Something isn't working.
What can we do to fix it?"
136
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:14,679
{\an8}[Megan grunts sleepily]
137
00:09:17,515 --> 00:09:19,392
{\an8}- Mmm-mmm.
- [Aura grunts]
138
00:09:23,145 --> 00:09:24,146
{\an8}Let's get ready.
139
00:09:25,481 --> 00:09:26,482
[sighs]

00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:28,943
Aah! [humming]

00:09:30,486 --> 00:09:33,656
- Wanna wear your Minnie Mouse sweater?
- Yes.
142
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:35,866
- You're gonna do it all by yourself?
- Maybe.
143
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:37,743
Maybe? Be careful.
144
00:09:38,953 --> 00:09:40,037
We could do this one.
145
00:09:42,665 --> 00:09:44,875
- [speaks imperceptibly]
- [video playing indistinctly]
146
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:46,127
Go!
147
00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:48,671
Keep holding your sleeve. Don't let it go.
148
00:09:59,307 --> 00:10:03,019
[Megan] I've been working since I was 13.
149
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,856
In high school, after school,on the weekends.
150
00:10:06,939 --> 00:10:10,901
That was one of my first-ever jobs,um, cleaning.
151
00:10:14,238 --> 00:10:16,699
A lot of clients was in Manhattan.
152
00:10:16,782 --> 00:10:19,160
52nd Street, 42nd Street.
153
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:21,912
Big buildings with doormen.
154
00:10:21,996 --> 00:10:25,666
And I was like, "Wow, Mom, I want this."
155
00:10:30,713 --> 00:10:33,507
When we talked to the peoplethat owned these buildings,
156
00:10:33,591 --> 00:10:34,842
they're CEOs,
157
00:10:36,010 --> 00:10:39,305
senior advisors and tech people.
158
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:49,607
I want this. I want this lifestyle,and I have to work hard for it.
159
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:57,573
Monday, business professional.
160
00:10:58,699 --> 00:11:01,035
Black or blue, button-up or a blouse.

If you want to do a blazer
or a cardigan with it,

00:11:13,089 --> 00:11:16,092
- [man] Oh, that's a blouse.
- [laughter]
169
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:23,808
So we kind of talked about this segment.
What was that like?
170
00:11:23,891 --> 00:11:27,103
I saw people nodding their heads
about if you're ever experienced this.
171
00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:28,938
So how does it make you feel?
172
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:33,317
For a lot of us, we're going into
the corporate world for the first time,
173
00:11:33,401 --> 00:11:36,362
so we don't know how to maneuver
this type of stuff,
174
00:11:36,445 --> 00:11:38,823
so we feel like
you can be taken advantage of
175
00:11:38,906 --> 00:11:41,742
if you don't know how to be
a part of that system,
176
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:43,577
how to, like, fit in,
177
00:11:43,661 --> 00:11:46,414
how to succeed in that environment.
178
00:11:46,497 --> 00:11:47,748
Mmm-hmm. Anyone else?
179
00:11:48,582 --> 00:11:50,501
[Carter] I got lucky at Nike,
at my first job.
180
00:11:50,584 --> 00:11:52,670
I worked around people
who wanted me to succeed.
181
00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:54,046
I trusted, so they'd help me.
182
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:58,342
{\an8}They would really, really help me
to understand corporate jargon,
183
00:11:58,426 --> 00:12:01,011
there was corporate hierarchy
that you have to understand.
184
00:12:01,095 --> 00:12:04,765
Reporting structures,
you know, all these things, work charts,
185
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:10,020
that I had never even talked about
or heard anyone talk about in my house.
186
00:12:10,104 --> 00:12:14,066
When you go into an environment like that,
you're like the new kid at school.
187
00:12:15,484 --> 00:12:18,362
{\an8}It goes way before who you know,
it's like where you're born.
188
00:12:19,447 --> 00:12:23,200
Ask the kids who come from the intercities
what it's like to walk into this building,
189
00:12:23,284 --> 00:12:24,743
it's a whole different world.
190
00:12:27,621 --> 00:12:30,958
You know, the plush carpets
and the big desks and stuff like that.
191
00:12:31,917 --> 00:12:34,962
I had never been in a corporate,
I had never met a CEO
192
00:12:35,045 --> 00:12:36,338
until I finally met one
193
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:39,383
probably in my last year of college
or something like that.
194
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:41,594
So I think
I was still a little privileged.
195
00:12:41,677 --> 00:12:44,972
I had great parents,
I went to a nice college and all that,
196
00:12:45,055 --> 00:12:47,308
and that gives you a leg up on life.
197
00:12:47,391 --> 00:12:49,185
[Chertavian] In this country today,
198
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:53,981
I can predict whether you're going to go
to college and get a four-year degree
199
00:12:54,064 --> 00:12:57,985
{\an8}more by your bank balance
than your SAT score.
200
00:12:58,736 --> 00:13:01,197
{\an8}That's a fundamental challenge
in our country.
201
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:03,824
{\an8}[alarm ringing]
202
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,121
{\an8}[sighs]
203
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:20,925
[Zane] The friend
that told me about the program,
204
00:13:21,008 --> 00:13:26,430
he was one of the first people I saw
that was in the corporate world,
205
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:30,935
and, you know,
he wore slacks and shoes to work.
206
00:13:31,769 --> 00:13:35,564
Where he worked did not provide
a uniform for him, you know?
207
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:37,900
That's a difference, for sure.
208
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:42,780
My first suits, I bought 2 for $99.
209
00:13:42,863 --> 00:13:43,989
{\an8}They were polyester.
210
00:13:44,073 --> 00:13:46,116
{\an8}Literally, they're in
a landfill somewhere,
211
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,910
{\an8}standing up on their own.
212
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:50,037
But beyond that, I bought everything used.
213
00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:53,374
My first dress shirt, used.
214
00:13:53,457 --> 00:13:54,959
First tie, used.
215
00:13:55,042 --> 00:13:56,585
Belt, used.
216
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:58,587
Socks, I bought those new.
217
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:01,632
I didn't care if it was new or used, okay?
218
00:14:01,715 --> 00:14:04,677
My interviewer didn't care
if it was new or used.
219
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,136
I just wanted the job.
220
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,195
{\an8}Those first few years of working,
I realized, for me to prove myself,
221
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:26,282
{\an8}and for me to move up the ranks,
everyone has to start at the bottom.
222
00:14:31,412 --> 00:14:36,125
My philosophy was, whatever job I was in
at any given point in time,
223
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:38,919
I just focused on crushing that job.
224
00:14:39,753 --> 00:14:43,799
And if you crush that job
and you do great work, you'll be noticed,
225
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:46,468
and your career trajectory
will take care of itself.
226
00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:50,472
[people speaking indistinctly]
227
00:14:52,683 --> 00:14:55,561
[Hayley Dicken] We have participants
who are coming out of a pandemic.
228
00:14:57,605 --> 00:15:01,317
I have participants who spent
their last few years of high school
229
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,651
behind a computer screen.
230
00:15:04,194 --> 00:15:06,697
People haven't even been
sitting next to each other,
231
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:09,199
let alone engaging physically
with one another.
232
00:15:11,368 --> 00:15:12,578
{\an8}Handshake is confidence.
233
00:15:12,661 --> 00:15:15,289
{\an8}That is truly
the embodiment of that moment…
234
00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:19,627
that lays the groundwork
for how you build.
235
00:15:22,004 --> 00:15:24,715
{\an8}I would say
a big part of being an entrepreneur,
236
00:15:24,798 --> 00:15:28,010
but also just being a part of working,
like working in the world,
237
00:15:28,093 --> 00:15:29,720
is you have to be user-friendly.
238
00:15:29,803 --> 00:15:32,973
And that starts with
the very first time you meet someone.
239
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:37,686
Being a great listener is a thing
that will set you apart right away.
240
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:41,732
If you ask someone how they're doing
and actually listen to what they say,
241
00:15:41,815 --> 00:15:44,652
looking them in the face, it all matters,
242
00:15:44,735 --> 00:15:46,946
and that first impression
is what sets you up
243
00:15:47,029 --> 00:15:49,198
for people to know
if you're gonna be user-friendly.
244
00:15:55,579 --> 00:15:58,040
[indistinct conversation]
245
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:05,172
It's just from scratch again,
um, meeting new people.
246
00:16:08,717 --> 00:16:12,846
I just am not confident in myself
that much right now in the tech world,
247
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:14,765
{\an8}'cause it's not like a school environment
248
00:16:14,848 --> 00:16:17,101
{\an8}where you can just go up to people
and talk randomly.
249
00:16:17,184 --> 00:16:21,814
{\an8}You kind of have to prepare yourself
in a professional way.
250
00:16:21,897 --> 00:16:26,026
Because of my English,
I did not think that
251
00:16:26,110 --> 00:16:29,571
I was enough to go out and talk
or to present.
252
00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:34,201
I kind of think in Turkish
and it comes out in English,
253
00:16:34,284 --> 00:16:37,371
so it doesn't match every time,
what I want to say in my head.
254
00:16:39,415 --> 00:16:41,917
Deep down, I just feel like I can do more,
255
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:46,213
so I think
that gives me pressure on myself.
256
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:52,886
[Jeter] Sometimes
we go into these environments
257
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:56,223
and we put so much pressure
overthinking what it is.
258
00:16:56,306 --> 00:16:58,142
It is a conversation.
259
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:01,770
When I'm having a conversation with you,
260
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:04,565
what is one thing
that I need to make sure I'm doing?
261
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:08,110
- [man] Interacting.
- [Jeter] Interacting. Thank you.
262
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:09,695
Do not create an atmosphere
263
00:17:09,778 --> 00:17:12,448
where folks are just asking you
all the questions, right?
264
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:14,783
Because now
we are not having a conversation.
265
00:17:15,951 --> 00:17:20,164
I sometimes do not like
making eye contact,
266
00:17:20,247 --> 00:17:22,916
but I am fully engaged
in the conversation.
267
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,211
Looking someone directly in the eye,
268
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:29,381
it gives, like, a form…
269
00:17:29,465 --> 00:17:32,551
I don't want to say intimacy,
but it feels like it,
270
00:17:32,634 --> 00:17:36,430
and I don't really do well with that.
271
00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:41,810
With my mom, we talk,
and she hears me and I hear her,
272
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:45,105
and I think that
we communicate well that way.
273
00:17:45,189 --> 00:17:48,150
Um, but in corporate America,
274
00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:51,111
people do look you in your face
when they're speaking,
275
00:17:51,195 --> 00:17:53,489
and they're expecting that back.
276
00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:57,409
So it is something that I have
recently realized that I need to work on.
277
00:17:58,202 --> 00:18:00,412
I feel like
that's part of being professional,
278
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:01,747
showing that you're attentive.
279
00:18:07,711 --> 00:18:09,171
[announcer] Wall Street.
280
00:18:14,593 --> 00:18:16,220
[Jeter] Once I cross the bridge, right,
281
00:18:16,303 --> 00:18:20,974
I have a sense of professionalism,confidence, courage.
282
00:18:21,642 --> 00:18:26,897
When you get off the train over here,there's an energy of professional commute.
283
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:29,066
Everyone's on that hustle,
284
00:18:29,149 --> 00:18:32,861
and so it almost propels youinto that mindset of, like,
285
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:35,906
"I'm hungry for it,I'm ready, I'm energized."
286
00:18:37,658 --> 00:18:41,411
The mindset of the studentshas to shift when they get here.
287
00:18:41,495 --> 00:18:43,372
They have to push past a fear,
288
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:46,792
they have to push past a doubtor a question, and say like,
289
00:18:46,875 --> 00:18:51,046
"I deserve to be in this mega space,and the space also has room for me."
290
00:18:53,841 --> 00:18:55,843
[indistinct conversations]
291
00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:15,487
- How are you, mister?
- Well, you're being proactive.
292
00:19:15,571 --> 00:19:18,740
Okay, so, I don't see any final project.
293
00:19:18,824 --> 00:19:21,285
- Help me understand what's going on.
- Um…
294
00:19:22,077 --> 00:19:24,079
You have three final projects
due tomorrow.
295
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,582
Uh-huh. I haven't done it. Yeah, uh…
296
00:19:26,665 --> 00:19:29,042
- Is there a reason why?
- Uh…
297
00:19:29,793 --> 00:19:34,047
Well, my mom had to take a business trip,
so I had to take care of my sisters.
298
00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:36,717
And she also has a business
that I had to take care of…
299
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,136
- Okay.
- …which, like, got in, you know,
300
00:19:39,219 --> 00:19:41,346
cut into the time
that I should've been coding,
301
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:45,225
which is why, this week,
I wasn't really on top of my labs.
302
00:19:45,309 --> 00:19:48,312
As you can see,
I also had two missing labs this week.
303
00:19:48,395 --> 00:19:50,981
So, with that said, um,
304
00:19:51,064 --> 00:19:53,984
do you understand the requirements
in the final project?
305
00:19:54,067 --> 00:19:57,029
- Yeah, yeah, I do. I do.
- So I want to see…
306
00:19:57,112 --> 00:19:59,364
- [voice fading]
- [heartbeat pulsing loudly]
307
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:04,453
[Chertavian] There's a young manI was interviewing for our program.
308
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:07,581
And I looked athis high school transcript…
309
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:11,001
and I remember saying,
310
00:20:11,084 --> 00:20:15,005
"Why are you going to come to Year Up
and be successful and to be on time?
311
00:20:16,673 --> 00:20:18,884
You've been late 56 days!"
312
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:21,720
He said,
"You know, Gerald, let me tell you.
313
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:23,305
"I live on my own."
314
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:26,850
"Therefore, I have to pay
for my own food and my own rent."
315
00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:29,102
"I got a job at Starbucks."
316
00:20:29,186 --> 00:20:33,899
"It'd start at 5:00 a.m. and I could work
till 8:00 a.m. every morning."
317
00:20:34,775 --> 00:20:37,945
"And I had to finish that job
and run to high school"
318
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:41,073
"to try to be on time,
but it was really, really hard."
319
00:20:41,156 --> 00:20:42,950
"And therefore I was late a lot."
320
00:20:43,992 --> 00:20:46,411
"It's not because
I'm not a capable person."
321
00:20:46,495 --> 00:20:48,830
"It's not because
I don't want to be on time."
322
00:20:49,665 --> 00:20:51,208
"I had to feed myself."
323
00:20:53,418 --> 00:20:57,547
"And that job from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.
is what kept me alive."
324
00:20:57,631 --> 00:21:01,009
{\an8}"And, yes, it meant I couldn't
get to school on time every day,"
325
00:21:01,718 --> 00:21:03,679
{\an8}but that doesn't mean I'm not capable."
326
00:21:05,472 --> 00:21:07,641
I was never a good student in high school.
327
00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:10,185
And if you're not a good student
in high school,
328
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:14,398
then people are going to dictate
how you're going to do in college.
329
00:21:14,481 --> 00:21:19,111
So, basically,
you have a life already ahead of you.
330
00:21:19,194 --> 00:21:21,530
If you're bad in high school,
you'll suck at college.
331
00:21:21,613 --> 00:21:23,824
If you suck at college,
you'll suck in life.
332
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,078
You know, not everybody in this world
has to go to college.
333
00:21:28,161 --> 00:21:30,122
You know who didn't go to college?
334
00:21:30,205 --> 00:21:31,206
Einstein.
335
00:21:32,082 --> 00:21:33,542
Thomas Edison.
336
00:21:33,625 --> 00:21:34,459
[scoffs]
337
00:21:35,002 --> 00:21:36,003
Frank.
338
00:21:37,004 --> 00:21:38,046
Frank, who?
339
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,048
The dude who pumps my gas.
340
00:21:40,841 --> 00:21:45,846
{\an8}We've somehow got this idea in a lot of
elements of elite culture, in the media,
341
00:21:45,929 --> 00:21:48,181
that you have to have a bachelor's degree.
342
00:21:48,890 --> 00:21:50,517
Society has rules.
343
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,395
And the first rule is, you go to college.
344
00:21:53,478 --> 00:21:56,023
You want to have a happyand successful life, you go to college.
345
00:21:56,106 --> 00:21:58,525
If you want to fit in, you go to college.
346
00:21:58,608 --> 00:22:01,153
I've enrolled in Arlen Community College.
347
00:22:01,236 --> 00:22:03,613
- College? Real college?- Mmm-hmm.
348
00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:06,575
Oh, Luanne,you're dreaming with the big boys now.
349
00:22:06,658 --> 00:22:08,327
We're talking six figures each.
350
00:22:08,410 --> 00:22:10,871
- Well--- That's a generous offer, Mr. Hampton,
351
00:22:10,954 --> 00:22:12,873
- but no, Malcolm's going to college.- Mom--
352
00:22:12,956 --> 00:22:15,125
You're going to geta college education first.
353
00:22:15,208 --> 00:22:17,502
He knows what he wants to doand he's in a good college.
354
00:22:17,586 --> 00:22:18,879
- College.- College.
355
00:22:18,962 --> 00:22:20,464
And that's ridiculous.
356
00:22:20,547 --> 00:22:24,384
When almost no one had bachelor's degrees
in this country,
357
00:22:24,468 --> 00:22:27,888
we built the Empire State Building
in nine months.
358
00:22:27,971 --> 00:22:31,058
In fact, 95% of the civilization around us
359
00:22:31,141 --> 00:22:33,518
was built by people
without bachelor's degrees.
360
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:41,151
As early as 1909,
only 9% of Americans went to high school.
361
00:22:41,777 --> 00:22:46,364
But by 1939, 79% of American teenagers
were going to high school.
362
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:50,035
The reason it happened
is because communities across the country
363
00:22:50,118 --> 00:22:53,163
wanted to see their children
be able to get
364
00:22:53,246 --> 00:22:55,332
what you would then call
the jobs of the future.
365
00:22:56,124 --> 00:22:59,044
Secretaries, telegraph operators,
366
00:22:59,127 --> 00:23:01,004
it might be to work in a car factory.
367
00:23:01,838 --> 00:23:04,007
There were all these new jobs
368
00:23:04,091 --> 00:23:06,093
that were better jobs
than the people wanted.
369
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:08,720
And high schools were a mass movement
370
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:12,099
that allowed people to get those
broad-based skills for those jobs.
371
00:23:12,182 --> 00:23:15,310
World War II came, the GI Bill came,
372
00:23:15,393 --> 00:23:18,105
now you started having
mass college education.
373
00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:21,650
We needed more doctors, more nurses,
we needed more engineers.
374
00:23:21,733 --> 00:23:25,112
But then sometime around the early '80s,
there was this report that came out.
375
00:23:25,195 --> 00:23:27,280
This presidential commission
called A Nation at Risk.
376
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:31,409
We've taken a long, hard look
at America's educational system
377
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,037
and found that quality is lacking.
378
00:23:34,746 --> 00:23:37,833
[Auguste] One of the things it said
is that our high schools are a disaster
379
00:23:37,916 --> 00:23:41,378
because they weren't preparing students
to succeed in college.
380
00:23:42,045 --> 00:23:45,298
Our high schools were never designed
to help students succeed at college,
381
00:23:45,382 --> 00:23:47,592
they were designed
to help them succeed at life.
382
00:23:48,677 --> 00:23:51,805
[Chertavian] Throughoutthe '80s and the '90s in our country,
383
00:23:51,888 --> 00:23:55,183
we began a rhetoric that saideveryone must go to college.
384
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:56,977
That college-for-all mentality.
385
00:23:57,060 --> 00:24:00,438
{\an8}Some of the successes of people
isn't because they went to university,
386
00:24:00,522 --> 00:24:03,400
{\an8}it's because they already grew up well,
they were already educated,
387
00:24:03,483 --> 00:24:05,861
they went to good high schools
and colleges.
388
00:24:05,944 --> 00:24:07,654
That's good enough to get starting jobs.
389
00:24:07,737 --> 00:24:11,116
[Auguste] We want college
to be a bridge to opportunity,
390
00:24:11,199 --> 00:24:15,745
but what we don't want is for college
to become a draw bridge that you pull up,
391
00:24:15,829 --> 00:24:19,332
and everybody who doesn't get across it
is on the outside looking in.
392
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:23,295
[reporter] The latest economic snapshotshows a staggering increase
393
00:24:23,378 --> 00:24:26,047
in the number of peoplewho have lost their jobs.
394
00:24:26,131 --> 00:24:31,094
The nation's unemployment ratebolted to a 14-year high.
395
00:24:31,178 --> 00:24:36,558
[Dr. Jackson] In 2008, with the recession,
we saw many people out of employment.
396
00:24:36,641 --> 00:24:40,562
{\an8}At that point, employers were
in a very powerful position.
397
00:24:40,645 --> 00:24:43,857
{\an8}They could be picky
about who they wanted to hire,
398
00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:47,360
when they wanted to hire them,
and how they wanted them to work.
399
00:24:47,986 --> 00:24:50,989
In 2008,
you also saw the rise of the Internet,
400
00:24:51,072 --> 00:24:53,491
and applying on jobs en masse.
401
00:24:53,575 --> 00:24:56,620
The good thing about that
is that it made accessing jobs
402
00:24:56,703 --> 00:24:59,372
{\an8}and applying for them widely available.
403
00:24:59,456 --> 00:25:02,209
{\an8}[Auguste] On the other hand,
it poses a problem for HR departments,
404
00:25:02,292 --> 00:25:03,710
{\an8}a real problem, which is,
405
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:07,505
{\an8}before, maybe 35, 40 people
applied for your job.
406
00:25:07,589 --> 00:25:11,843
Now you get, let's say,
400 applications, or 800 applications.
407
00:25:11,927 --> 00:25:15,263
Well, you can't really go through
400 or 800 applications.
408
00:25:15,347 --> 00:25:17,098
{\an8}Well, how do you sort those out?
409
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:18,683
{\an8}What filters do you use,
410
00:25:18,767 --> 00:25:21,686
{\an8}what switches to say,
"Yes, I'll speak with you, or look at you"
411
00:25:21,770 --> 00:25:22,854
and "No, I won't"?
412
00:25:22,938 --> 00:25:24,981
A very easy switch to pull
413
00:25:25,065 --> 00:25:27,567
is "Do you have a four-year degree
or don't you?"
414
00:25:27,651 --> 00:25:29,152
It became a sorting mechanism.
415
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:32,447
{\an8}In fact,
a pretty inelegant sorting mechanism.
416
00:25:32,530 --> 00:25:36,076
{\an8}[Dr. Jackson] Now you have a computerthat's screening people out
417
00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:37,702
versus screening them in.
418
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:41,539
{\an8}Would I prefer my kids to go to college
or not go to college?
419
00:25:41,623 --> 00:25:43,750
{\an8}I say the same to them
as I say to anybody:
420
00:25:43,833 --> 00:25:46,211
{\an8}I really think
going to college is a good idea.
421
00:25:46,294 --> 00:25:49,631
I think learning how to learn is
one of the greatest skills you could have.
422
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:52,050
But at the same time,
it's not for everybody.
423
00:25:52,133 --> 00:25:57,430
{\an8}It's not just about the education you get,
it's the experience you get.
424
00:25:57,514 --> 00:26:00,183
I made a decision
to leave a four-year university
425
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:03,144
to go to a two-year technical school.
426
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:06,064
I don't know if I'd have
ever gotten into the technical industry
427
00:26:06,147 --> 00:26:08,900
if I didn't make that decision
and that transition.
428
00:26:08,984 --> 00:26:10,944
{\an8}Education's a lifelong thing.
429
00:26:11,027 --> 00:26:13,321
{\an8}It's not something that
you go to four years of college,
430
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:15,323
{\an8}and somehow you're fully prepared
431
00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:18,118
for what the world will demand from you
in 20 years. You're not.
432
00:26:18,201 --> 00:26:20,745
It's not about college,
it's really about skills.
433
00:26:20,829 --> 00:26:23,790
{\an8}When you're hiring someone,
presumably, you're hiring them
434
00:26:23,873 --> 00:26:26,084
{\an8}because you think
they can do certain things.
435
00:26:26,167 --> 00:26:29,129
If I'm not choosing the person
based on the degree,
436
00:26:29,212 --> 00:26:33,383
but based on an authentic assessment
of what skills they have,
437
00:26:33,466 --> 00:26:35,844
you, as an employer,
are going to get exactly what you want.
438
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:39,681
In fact, it's been proven
that if you hire for skills,
439
00:26:39,764 --> 00:26:44,185
that is five times more predictive
of your future success
440
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:46,521
than if you purely hire for degrees.
441
00:26:46,604 --> 00:26:50,900
[instructor] Step one is gonna be,
you're going to take this apart.
442
00:26:50,984 --> 00:26:52,736
{\an8}You have some tools in front of you,
443
00:26:52,819 --> 00:26:58,033
{\an8}and you're going to take apart
the chassis from the computer,
444
00:26:58,116 --> 00:27:01,536
and you're going to remove hard drive,
445
00:27:01,619 --> 00:27:05,206
remove motherboard,
power supply from the device.
446
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:09,002
If I'm your boss,
and I give you a month to do something,
447
00:27:09,085 --> 00:27:12,005
and you don't do it,
you might not have a job next week.
448
00:27:12,088 --> 00:27:14,799
I want you all
to be able to fly through it.
449
00:27:14,883 --> 00:27:15,884
So, go ahead.
450
00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:20,180
- You want to take the panel?
- Yeah, we could do that.
451
00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:23,224
[Lamia] Okay, this one we can take off.
452
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:24,934
I could just take this one off.
453
00:27:25,727 --> 00:27:27,520
Oh, I see we have a starting point.
454
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:31,316
[Lamia] Let me open this,
so we can see what else is underneath.
455
00:27:31,399 --> 00:27:33,276
[man] Okay, so now we can take this out.
456
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:35,987
We can, like, flip it,
exactly like the other things.
457
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:39,032
[Dr. Jackson] How do we assess people
in different ways
458
00:27:39,115 --> 00:27:41,326
{\an8}so that we can recognize and understand
459
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:45,789
{\an8}the skills that they actually come with
beyond having a degree?
460
00:27:45,872 --> 00:27:50,335
{\an8}We have to take it upon ourselves
to widen the aperture of who we can hire
461
00:27:50,418 --> 00:27:53,129
{\an8}and then provide that training
as people join the company.
462
00:27:53,213 --> 00:27:56,132
Now we're gonna do the reverse.
Put everything back together.
463
00:27:57,258 --> 00:27:58,426
[man] There we go.
464
00:27:59,469 --> 00:28:01,554
Yeah, Larson, do you wanna just like…
465
00:28:02,430 --> 00:28:04,349
- It's the same thing. It flips.
- Yeah.
466
00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:06,684
- [man] Ha-ha!
- [Lamia] You did it!
467
00:28:06,768 --> 00:28:08,019
Oh, yes, you're right.
468
00:28:08,103 --> 00:28:10,188
- Also, this is gonna come out of here.
- Hard drive.
469
00:28:10,271 --> 00:28:11,356
[man] Here we go.
470
00:28:11,439 --> 00:28:12,816
[instructor] No, that's good.
471
00:28:12,899 --> 00:28:13,733
[man 1] I got it.
472
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:15,568
[woman] There we go.
473
00:28:16,945 --> 00:28:18,780
- [man 2] You guys got it?
- [woman] Yup.
474
00:28:19,322 --> 00:28:20,907
[man 3] There we go. All right.
475
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:22,700
[instructor] All right.
476
00:28:24,411 --> 00:28:25,412
[woman chuckles]
477
00:28:26,704 --> 00:28:27,914
[instructor] All right.
478
00:28:28,415 --> 00:28:30,792
{\an8}There are different types of skills
that are needed
479
00:28:30,875 --> 00:28:34,712
{\an8}to thrive in a corporate environment
and to take on more responsibility.
480
00:28:34,796 --> 00:28:36,172
There are the hard skills,
481
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:39,551
things that we think of
related to retail basics
482
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:41,428
or retail math, if you're at Walmart.
483
00:28:41,511 --> 00:28:44,180
And then there are these things
that some people call soft skills.
484
00:28:44,264 --> 00:28:47,600
Things like empathy,
things like the ability to listen,
485
00:28:47,684 --> 00:28:49,894
and apply what you learn and grow.
486
00:28:49,978 --> 00:28:51,688
{\an8}Did you earn people's trust?
487
00:28:52,272 --> 00:28:54,649
{\an8}When you speak, do you speak with clarity?
488
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:56,401
{\an8}Do you treat people respectfully?
489
00:28:56,484 --> 00:28:58,236
Showing up on time is respectful.
490
00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:02,240
At Workday, my co-founder Dave and I
interviewed the first 500 people.
491
00:29:02,323 --> 00:29:04,367
{\an8}What we really dug into
was whether they had
492
00:29:04,451 --> 00:29:06,703
{\an8}the personal characteristics
to be successful.
493
00:29:06,786 --> 00:29:11,708
Characteristics like integrity,
teamwork, working hard,
494
00:29:11,791 --> 00:29:14,794
knowing how to interact with folks
in a business setting.
495
00:29:14,878 --> 00:29:16,755
Making sure that
you're constantly learning.
496
00:29:16,838 --> 00:29:19,591
They sound like soft skills,
but I think they're essential.
497
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:23,928
[train chugging]
498
00:29:32,812 --> 00:29:35,815
[Mark Cuban] If you're on the train
for 40 minutes every morning,
499
00:29:35,899 --> 00:29:37,484
and 40 minutes every night,
500
00:29:37,567 --> 00:29:40,737
that time to yourself
is incredibly valuable.
501
00:29:40,820 --> 00:29:44,324
I always tried to listen
to something motivational or educational.
502
00:29:44,407 --> 00:29:47,202
{\an8}You know, back in the day,
I would listen to this guy, Zig Ziglar,
503
00:29:47,285 --> 00:29:50,789
{\an8}and I would drive around
looking at big houses,
504
00:29:50,872 --> 00:29:52,248
trying to get all fired up.
505
00:29:52,332 --> 00:29:54,834
I would listen to educational tapes.
506
00:29:54,918 --> 00:29:57,003
I was trying to teach myself
different things,
507
00:29:57,086 --> 00:29:58,713
because I knew I had a lot to learn.
508
00:29:58,797 --> 00:30:00,882
If you're able to take that downtime
509
00:30:00,965 --> 00:30:06,095
and be disciplined enough
to use that to teach yourself something,
510
00:30:06,179 --> 00:30:07,388
you're gonna get ahead.
511
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:16,397
[indistinct conversations]
512
00:30:17,941 --> 00:30:20,068
[Brianna] Very first day,
very first boot camp,
513
00:30:20,151 --> 00:30:24,656
he said, "Pull out your laptop
and make a website using HTML, CSS."
514
00:30:25,406 --> 00:30:27,242
{\an8}Everyone else was coding their lives away,
515
00:30:27,325 --> 00:30:30,245
{\an8}and the first thing I said, I said,
"What is HTML and what is CSS?"
516
00:30:30,328 --> 00:30:32,455
{\an8}I didn't know what I was doing on day one.
517
00:30:33,206 --> 00:30:37,669
{\an8}With me, it's always, like,
the fear of not being enough for anything.
518
00:30:38,294 --> 00:30:40,964
Yeah, honestly, I feel like it's always a…
519
00:30:41,047 --> 00:30:42,757
- What's that word?
- What?
520
00:30:43,258 --> 00:30:45,885
{\an8}- Impostor syndrome.
- [Brianna] Yes, that's a good one.
521
00:30:45,969 --> 00:30:49,389
Yeah, so, I don't know if any of you know,
but I wasn't born here.
522
00:30:49,472 --> 00:30:51,140
I was born in South America.
523
00:30:51,224 --> 00:30:52,892
Honestly, that felt very nerve-racking,
524
00:30:52,976 --> 00:30:56,437
because I'm not really good
at meeting new people,
525
00:30:56,521 --> 00:30:57,897
or interacting with people.
526
00:30:58,606 --> 00:31:01,401
And I feel like when I joined the program,
it was like that.
527
00:31:01,484 --> 00:31:03,653
Do you think you belong here right now?
528
00:31:03,736 --> 00:31:04,737
[Andres] Um…
529
00:31:06,823 --> 00:31:08,116
- Uh…
- [Simge] Spill the tea.
530
00:31:08,658 --> 00:31:10,076
[Andres] I don't know, I feel like…
531
00:31:10,660 --> 00:31:11,828
Coding is your thing.
532
00:31:12,328 --> 00:31:14,581
Yeah, it is, it is, you know, so…
533
00:31:17,625 --> 00:31:20,879
[Carter] You hear that phrase
"impostor syndrome" a lot.
534
00:31:21,462 --> 00:31:25,592
Our company makes film and TV,
but I'm no filmmaker,
535
00:31:25,675 --> 00:31:27,260
I'm no set designer.
536
00:31:27,343 --> 00:31:30,555
We are going to do
a tower building activity.
537
00:31:30,638 --> 00:31:32,181
So let's all stand.
538
00:31:32,265 --> 00:31:35,476
{\an8}I used to get it when I'd go,
"Oh, man, I'm gonna walk in this room
539
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,939
"and they're gonna start talking about
the set for this show or this movie,"
540
00:31:40,023 --> 00:31:42,942
and they're gonna realize
I don't know what I'm doing."
541
00:31:43,026 --> 00:31:44,027
[imperceptible]
542
00:31:45,653 --> 00:31:49,198
[Carter] But the key in that moment
is to lean back into myself and go,
543
00:31:49,282 --> 00:31:51,534
"Okay, but if I think I need to know…"
544
00:31:51,618 --> 00:31:53,161
[Simge] Hey, wait, what are we doing?
545
00:31:53,244 --> 00:31:54,203
"…ask the question."
546
00:31:55,872 --> 00:31:59,375
The best person in the room is the person
who can admit what they don't know.
547
00:32:01,377 --> 00:32:05,340
The tower must be three feet tall.
548
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,552
{\an8}When I was a new engineer
joining General Motors,
549
00:32:09,636 --> 00:32:11,179
I didn't know how to do everything.
550
00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:13,932
We need a structure first.
Have you thought of that?
551
00:32:14,015 --> 00:32:15,642
Like putting the markers inside.
552
00:32:16,184 --> 00:32:19,103
[Mary Barra] I'd lean over
to the person next to me and say,
553
00:32:19,187 --> 00:32:22,398
"Hey, I'm dealing with this situation.
Have you ever seen this before?
554
00:32:22,482 --> 00:32:24,984
Do you have suggestions
on what's the best way to handle this?"
555
00:32:25,068 --> 00:32:28,029
- [Simge] That didn't work.
- [Brianna] It's just gonna flop.
556
00:32:28,738 --> 00:32:32,200
It's important for people
to spend time together to collaborate.
557
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:35,119
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
All right.
558
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:38,039
[woman] Oh, God.
559
00:32:38,581 --> 00:32:40,083
I told you. Hold on, hold on.
560
00:32:40,166 --> 00:32:42,168
[all cheering]
561
00:32:43,836 --> 00:32:46,631
- [Simge] It didn't fall!
- It didn't fall!
562
00:32:49,258 --> 00:32:51,469
[indistinct conversation]
563
00:32:51,552 --> 00:32:54,597
[Zane] This is the DNS server,
but this is the DHCP.
564
00:32:54,681 --> 00:32:57,350
Stop, stop, stop.
You have to turn it on first.
565
00:32:57,433 --> 00:33:00,395
- Oh, on.
- 172.
566
00:33:00,478 --> 00:33:02,271
[Zane] It's still not working.
567
00:33:02,355 --> 00:33:03,940
[woman] Have you changed that?
568
00:33:04,023 --> 00:33:06,275
[Auguste] By the time I was
in the Obama administration,
569
00:33:06,359 --> 00:33:09,570
{\an8}I had been working with high-level people
for 20 years,
570
00:33:09,654 --> 00:33:12,115
{\an8}and I felt a little more comfortable,
571
00:33:12,198 --> 00:33:14,575
though, of course,
every new environment you go into,
572
00:33:14,659 --> 00:33:17,787
there's a whole new vernacular,
a whole new set of assumptions.
573
00:33:18,496 --> 00:33:22,625
I think a lot of times you think
the safest thing is not to speak up.
574
00:33:22,709 --> 00:33:26,713
But I actually discovered that
that's not really the safest thing.
575
00:33:27,547 --> 00:33:28,840
Trust your judgement,
576
00:33:28,923 --> 00:33:32,093
because your judgement
is bringing something to the table.
577
00:33:44,647 --> 00:33:46,315
[indistinct conversations]
578
00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:51,571
{\an8}[Dicken] Lamia is a participant who iscarrying quite a lot on her shoulders.
579
00:33:55,241 --> 00:33:57,368
She's got a lot of responsibility at home,
580
00:33:57,452 --> 00:34:00,580
she's got a lot of responsibility
to her family and to herself.
581
00:34:01,122 --> 00:34:03,708
She also has big expectations of herself.
582
00:34:03,791 --> 00:34:07,462
{\an8}I think Lamia knows
that she can go really far.
583
00:34:07,545 --> 00:34:10,715
She's not looking for a place
that's gonna see her as one in a hundred.
584
00:34:16,512 --> 00:34:18,389
[Elma] So when was the last time
we were here?
585
00:34:18,473 --> 00:34:22,101
- [Lamia] Definitely several months ago.
- With our cousin, yeah.
586
00:34:22,185 --> 00:34:26,064
So how has it been, like, so far?
587
00:34:26,147 --> 00:34:28,733
How are you feeling about internships
and everything?
588
00:34:28,816 --> 00:34:30,610
[Lamia] I don't know.
I'm a little nervous.
589
00:34:30,693 --> 00:34:33,237
Us being both head of the household, like…
590
00:34:33,321 --> 00:34:36,783
{\an8}You're head of the household,
but me helping you support the family…
591
00:34:36,866 --> 00:34:38,409
{\an8}- Right, right.
- It's been hard.
592
00:34:38,493 --> 00:34:40,995
I'm tired of spreading myself thin
and working so many…
593
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:45,500
Yesterday I worked from 4:00 to 9:00,
and in the morning, I had my other job.
594
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:49,128
- [Elma] Oh, my God.
- So it's a lot. So I'm a little nervous.
595
00:34:49,212 --> 00:34:52,465
I hope to be finally in a place
where I can be financially stable.
596
00:34:52,548 --> 00:34:54,092
- [Elma] Yeah.
- With one job,
597
00:34:54,175 --> 00:34:56,886
- and have this career trajectory.
- [Elma] Yeah.
598
00:35:01,974 --> 00:35:04,685
[Lamia] I usually work from5:00 to 10:00, or 4:00 to 9:00.
599
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:08,064
Then I come homeand have to finish my deliverables.
600
00:35:08,648 --> 00:35:10,900
I'm not even sick, like, physically sick.
601
00:35:11,692 --> 00:35:13,903
My body can't take this anymore.I need to rest.
602
00:35:15,947 --> 00:35:17,281
This is the final stretch.
603
00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:21,077
I want to get somewherewhere I feel like I'm comfortable,
604
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,746
or like I have financial independence.
605
00:35:26,624 --> 00:35:27,625
{\an8}[Megan groans]
606
00:35:30,503 --> 00:35:31,963
Aura. Aura, get your backpack.
607
00:35:35,925 --> 00:35:37,927
[Jeter] This is your second timearound here.
608
00:35:39,887 --> 00:35:42,473
What's two time's the charm been like?
609
00:35:43,933 --> 00:35:48,271
Um, the first time,
I had a lot of family issues.
610
00:35:48,354 --> 00:35:51,816
I had to leave so I can get a job.
611
00:35:51,899 --> 00:35:53,025
It was a sales job.
612
00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:56,863
But in the midst of it,
I realized that I can't continue.
613
00:35:56,946 --> 00:36:00,533
I don't want to be 30
and not have a stable career for myself.
614
00:36:00,616 --> 00:36:03,369
So, now it's a different ball game.
615
00:36:03,452 --> 00:36:08,082
I have to finish it.
There's no option, there's no dropout.
616
00:36:08,166 --> 00:36:11,127
I'll work through it
because there's no other option for me.
617
00:36:14,881 --> 00:36:18,092
{\an8}When your back's against the wall,
you've got only one direction to go.
618
00:36:22,763 --> 00:36:27,018
And that power of broke propels people,
it motivates them.
619
00:36:27,101 --> 00:36:29,979
It sends them to get out
and just do what you need to do
620
00:36:30,062 --> 00:36:31,647
to get where you want to get.
621
00:36:34,775 --> 00:36:36,736
Putting in the effort, that's grit.
622
00:36:36,819 --> 00:36:39,488
And that grittiness
is incredibly important.
623
00:36:42,533 --> 00:36:45,786
It's never a straight line.
There's no easy path.
624
00:36:47,496 --> 00:36:50,416
My dad did upholstery on cars,
my mom did odd jobs.
625
00:36:50,499 --> 00:36:53,044
Neither had gone to college,
didn't have a lot of money.
626
00:36:55,671 --> 00:36:57,423
I started selling when I was 12 years old.
627
00:36:57,506 --> 00:36:59,550
I was selling garbage bags door to door.
628
00:37:00,051 --> 00:37:01,177
[mimics knocking at door]
629
00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:03,888
"Hi, my name is Mark.
630
00:37:04,847 --> 00:37:06,515
Do you use garbage bags?"
631
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:07,975
I did whatever I had to do.
632
00:37:08,976 --> 00:37:11,020
I didn't think I'd be in this situation.
633
00:37:11,896 --> 00:37:13,773
I just wanted to get ahead.
634
00:37:13,856 --> 00:37:16,734
I just wanted to be
where I could control my own destiny.
635
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:20,655
[Jeter] Everything is at stake.
636
00:37:22,365 --> 00:37:24,200
This impacts generations.
637
00:37:25,159 --> 00:37:27,453
Generations before, generations after.
638
00:37:28,579 --> 00:37:31,457
These students now have the opportunityto take their parents
639
00:37:31,540 --> 00:37:34,168
and their families off of neighborhoodsand put them in homes.
640
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:37,004
This is past just a job for you.
641
00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:39,131
This is past just opening the door.
642
00:37:40,049 --> 00:37:42,802
[Auguste] If you are going downin one direction,
643
00:37:43,469 --> 00:37:46,430
and you have the opportunityto make a hard turn,
644
00:37:47,139 --> 00:37:50,142
to change the course of your life,
645
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,311
for you, it might just be a small turn,
646
00:37:52,853 --> 00:37:55,147
but for the generationsthat come behind you,
647
00:37:55,231 --> 00:37:57,900
it's gonna bea significantly different situation.
648
00:38:07,660 --> 00:38:10,204
[Jeter] So continue to grow
through the process.
649
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:11,789
This is not mastery, again.
650
00:38:12,456 --> 00:38:14,333
And what are interviews? A…
651
00:38:14,417 --> 00:38:17,169
- Conversation.
- Conversation. Just that.
652
00:38:17,878 --> 00:38:19,422
You have meet-and-greet too.
653
00:38:20,047 --> 00:38:21,841
Do not oversell yourself.
654
00:38:21,924 --> 00:38:23,134
Don't look at your watch.
655
00:38:23,217 --> 00:38:25,386
Be sure that
you're not restating your resume.
656
00:38:25,469 --> 00:38:27,263
Don't brag. Remember humility.
657
00:38:27,346 --> 00:38:32,101
Do not leave the interview without asking
for some form of communication from them.
658
00:38:33,060 --> 00:38:34,603
Yeah? Coming through?
659
00:38:35,396 --> 00:38:36,731
All right, let's practice.
660
00:38:40,985 --> 00:38:42,611
[Chertavian] Interviewing feels like
661
00:38:42,695 --> 00:38:44,864
one of the most high-stakes environments
you can be in.
662
00:38:47,783 --> 00:38:51,662
People make a decision in the first
30 seconds of the interview about you,
663
00:38:51,746 --> 00:38:55,166
{\an8}and then spend the rest of the interview
justifying the decision they've made.
664
00:38:56,250 --> 00:38:59,211
- Hi. Lamia. It's nice to meet you.
- [Zane] Hi.
665
00:38:59,295 --> 00:39:00,588
[Lamia chuckles]
666
00:39:00,671 --> 00:39:02,340
Welcome to blah, blah, blah.
667
00:39:02,423 --> 00:39:03,966
[Andres] No, just say "Hey."
668
00:39:04,050 --> 00:39:06,177
"Hey"? Very professional.
669
00:39:06,260 --> 00:39:08,929
Do your homework. Be prepared.
670
00:39:09,013 --> 00:39:10,389
Do some research on the company.
671
00:39:10,473 --> 00:39:12,725
{\an8}You need to be really thoughtful,
you need to prepare,
672
00:39:12,808 --> 00:39:15,519
{\an8}and then you need to present yourself
very professionally.
673
00:39:15,603 --> 00:39:17,813
[Lamia] Hello, welcome to your interview.
674
00:39:18,397 --> 00:39:20,900
- [Zane] Hello. Zane Richards.
- Hi. Lamia. Nice to meet you.
675
00:39:20,983 --> 00:39:24,403
[Dr. Jackson] At an interview, immediately
you're thinking about being judged.
676
00:39:24,487 --> 00:39:28,366
{\an8}Even before you get there, you're like,
"What do I wear? How does my hair look?
677
00:39:28,449 --> 00:39:30,368
"What's on this resume that I have?"
678
00:39:30,451 --> 00:39:33,621
"How am I gonna explain my experiences?"
679
00:39:33,704 --> 00:39:34,830
"Will they like me?"
680
00:39:35,915 --> 00:39:38,084
Will they think that it's enough?"
681
00:39:38,834 --> 00:39:40,044
We psych ourselves out.
682
00:39:40,127 --> 00:39:41,379
Hey, no need to be nervous.
683
00:39:41,462 --> 00:39:44,340
I'll never forget the first time
I was with a career counselor,
684
00:39:44,423 --> 00:39:46,509
and they had taped me in an interview.
685
00:39:46,592 --> 00:39:50,554
And I thought I did a pretty good job,
and when they showed me the video back,
686
00:39:50,638 --> 00:39:52,473
- you know, I kept saying, "Um."
- Um…
687
00:39:52,556 --> 00:39:54,058
- Um…
- Um…
688
00:39:54,141 --> 00:39:56,435
[Dr. Jackson] When I was thinking,
my eyes would roll up.
689
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:59,814
I had no idea
that that was even happening.
690
00:39:59,897 --> 00:40:01,190
Everyone has their strengths.
691
00:40:01,273 --> 00:40:03,818
I may be stronger in a certain area,
692
00:40:03,901 --> 00:40:05,277
I may be weaker in another one.
693
00:40:05,361 --> 00:40:06,529
I suck at interviewing.
694
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:10,950
I mean,
I am the world's worst interviewer.
695
00:40:11,033 --> 00:40:13,661
Yeah, I learned a long time ago
never let Mark interview.
696
00:40:13,744 --> 00:40:16,872
[Barra] Make sure that
the people that you're talking to,
697
00:40:16,956 --> 00:40:19,458
they know that
you're really interested in that company.
698
00:40:19,542 --> 00:40:22,169
One of the questions
I always ask people is, "Why GM?
699
00:40:22,253 --> 00:40:23,838
Why are you interested in GM?"
700
00:40:23,921 --> 00:40:27,425
And think about that,
because if he's just trying to get a job,
701
00:40:28,134 --> 00:40:29,427
that's very different than
702
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:31,804
"I wanna work for this company
for these reasons."
703
00:40:31,887 --> 00:40:34,849
And I've heard there's many opportunities
for growth in the company,
704
00:40:34,932 --> 00:40:36,225
and that's what I'm looking for.
705
00:40:36,308 --> 00:40:40,229
I'm looking for a company that's committed
to the development of their employees.
706
00:40:40,312 --> 00:40:42,064
[Dr. Jackson] Most hiring managers,
707
00:40:42,148 --> 00:40:44,817
what they really want to knowis they really want to know you.
708
00:40:44,900 --> 00:40:47,278
They want to know you beyond the paper.
709
00:40:47,361 --> 00:40:50,906
{\an8}The technical part
is just a check in the box.
710
00:40:50,990 --> 00:40:54,076
They're always going to get candidates
that have the skills already.
711
00:40:54,785 --> 00:40:57,413
So you wanna think about
the things that make you different.
712
00:40:57,496 --> 00:40:59,915
For example,
I've been playing the cello for 30 years.
713
00:40:59,999 --> 00:41:01,750
And my first language is Spanish.
714
00:41:01,834 --> 00:41:04,795
A lot of people wouldn't know that, right?
That's different.
715
00:41:04,879 --> 00:41:08,382
Everything that you think is weird
about you is probably your superpower
716
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:10,009
and what you want to double down on.
717
00:41:10,092 --> 00:41:13,637
Before I even start anything,
I first want to fully understand
718
00:41:13,721 --> 00:41:16,515
what the program should do
and how it should run.
719
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:20,227
[Doug McMillon] When I interview people,
I try to get to know them as people,
720
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,730
and understand what kind of leader
they're going to be,
721
00:41:22,813 --> 00:41:24,273
how they're gonna inspire others,
722
00:41:24,356 --> 00:41:27,526
if they're gonna help further our values
and culture of the company.
723
00:41:27,610 --> 00:41:30,362
{\an8}So I'm really focused on
"Who is this person?"
724
00:41:30,446 --> 00:41:32,198
Thank you for your time.
725
00:41:32,281 --> 00:41:34,492
Um, I really enjoyed
hearing about the company.
726
00:41:34,575 --> 00:41:36,911
- I look forward to hearing back.
- Thank you.
727
00:41:37,953 --> 00:41:38,954
Any questions for me?
728
00:41:39,038 --> 00:41:40,122
Any questions for me?
729
00:41:40,206 --> 00:41:41,707
[Simge] No, thank you for having me.
730
00:41:41,790 --> 00:41:43,918
- We'll keep in touch. Bye.
- Have a good day.
731
00:41:44,001 --> 00:41:46,378
- It was really great to meet you, Zane.
- Thank you. You too.
732
00:41:46,462 --> 00:41:49,131
- You'll be hearing from us soon.
- Thank you. Appreciate it.
733
00:42:10,945 --> 00:42:11,946
[exhales deeply]
734
00:42:17,159 --> 00:42:18,410
[mutters indistinctly]
735
00:42:23,332 --> 00:42:24,500
Good morning, everyone.
736
00:42:24,583 --> 00:42:29,338
Today, I'm going to be talking
a little bit about my developments.
737
00:42:29,421 --> 00:42:33,884
I hope to show you
that I'm ready for internship and…
738
00:42:34,843 --> 00:42:38,013
{\an8}My first role in our home office
after coming out of our stores
739
00:42:38,097 --> 00:42:39,265
{\an8}was as a buyer trainee,
740
00:42:39,348 --> 00:42:43,143
{\an8}and I was responsible for a big part
of our fishing tackle business.
741
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,730
I didn't know anything about fishing.
742
00:42:48,857 --> 00:42:50,234
And my supervisor said,
743
00:42:50,317 --> 00:42:51,819
"On Saturday, we've got a meeting,
744
00:42:51,902 --> 00:42:56,156
and you need to show the company
that you've reduced the price on an item."
745
00:42:57,324 --> 00:42:58,492
Good morning, everyone.
746
00:42:59,451 --> 00:43:01,495
Well, that was Monday
and that was Saturday,
747
00:43:01,579 --> 00:43:04,248
and I didn't have the first clue
of what to do.
748
00:43:05,082 --> 00:43:06,417
Thank you so much for being here.
749
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:10,879
I'm very excited to learn,
um, continue to hone my skills…
750
00:43:10,963 --> 00:43:16,468
That Saturday morning, I got to stand up,
and with a shaky voice and a shaky hand,
751
00:43:16,552 --> 00:43:20,264
tell Sam Walton about an item
that you spray on a hard lure
752
00:43:20,347 --> 00:43:24,393
that's supposed to make the fish think
it's a live animal and strike the bait.
753
00:43:24,476 --> 00:43:29,690
I'm assuming it'll probably be my journey,
um, post Year Up as well, so…
754
00:43:29,773 --> 00:43:31,984
After I described the lower price
and everything else,
755
00:43:32,067 --> 00:43:36,155
Sam said, "That's all well and good, son,
but what makes you think fish can smell?"
756
00:43:36,238 --> 00:43:37,698
To which I had no answer.
757
00:43:37,781 --> 00:43:39,700
Everyone laughed,
and I just went and sat down.
758
00:43:39,783 --> 00:43:41,535
- [man] Can I ask a follow-up question?
- Yes.
759
00:43:41,619 --> 00:43:45,039
[McMillon] You've got that anxiety insideand you just have to overcome it.
760
00:43:45,122 --> 00:43:47,750
Remembering to breathe,remembering to listen.
761
00:43:47,833 --> 00:43:49,209
Well, thank you for the question.
762
00:43:49,293 --> 00:43:51,378
I think that's a very great question.
763
00:43:51,462 --> 00:43:55,466
I still feel some of that today,
but I certainly felt it back then.
764
00:43:55,549 --> 00:43:57,760
- Thank you so much.
- [others] Thank you.
765
00:43:58,302 --> 00:44:01,430
[McMillon] That was a tough first week,but we made it through.
766
00:44:05,309 --> 00:44:07,436
I'm super stressed because, number one,
767
00:44:07,519 --> 00:44:10,439
I don't know how I'm going to behave
on the first day.
768
00:44:10,522 --> 00:44:13,692
By "behave," I mean, what do I wear?
What do I do? How do I talk?
769
00:44:13,776 --> 00:44:16,236
How do I… Who do I eat lunch with?
770
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,614
- [Brianna] People?
- [soft laughter]
771
00:44:19,323 --> 00:44:21,492
- Yeah, I agree with you.
- [Simge] Thank you, Andres.
772
00:44:21,575 --> 00:44:25,746
Honestly, I was really scared at first,
and a bit sad because, you know,
773
00:44:25,829 --> 00:44:29,958
we got so used to coming here
and meeting, you know, our friends,
774
00:44:30,042 --> 00:44:31,669
and, you know, learning.
775
00:44:31,752 --> 00:44:34,546
I actually had a really nice conversation
with Brianna.
776
00:44:34,630 --> 00:44:39,343
She told me how
sometimes it's good to hold on to things,
777
00:44:39,426 --> 00:44:41,345
but also you grow out of things.
778
00:44:41,428 --> 00:44:44,014
And I feel like
this program has taught us a lot,
779
00:44:44,098 --> 00:44:45,557
that it's time to grow out of it.
780
00:44:47,976 --> 00:44:51,397
[woman] Okay, so,
interesting speech, right?
781
00:44:51,980 --> 00:44:53,982
- Was his speech perfect?
- [Simge] No.
782
00:44:54,983 --> 00:44:56,276
[man] It was pretty good.
783
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,695
It was good, but was it perfect?
784
00:44:59,988 --> 00:45:03,534
If you notice,
he slightly stumbled over a word.
785
00:45:04,618 --> 00:45:07,496
He caught himself, fixed it and moved on.
786
00:45:08,622 --> 00:45:10,416
That's the art of public speaking.
787
00:45:16,964 --> 00:45:19,133
[Andres] After high school,
I couldn't go to college,
788
00:45:19,216 --> 00:45:21,176
nor could I get a good-paying job.
789
00:45:21,260 --> 00:45:23,720
So I started construction
that would pay me cash.
790
00:45:26,682 --> 00:45:32,729
The very first day,
they had me carry up, like, 40 drywall.
791
00:45:32,813 --> 00:45:36,358
It was so exhausting,
and at the end of the day,
792
00:45:37,067 --> 00:45:40,362
I just felt like
I could do something more with this life.
793
00:45:45,576 --> 00:45:47,119
I'm one of the lucky people
794
00:45:47,202 --> 00:45:51,248
who finally found something
that they're good at and that they love.
795
00:45:52,332 --> 00:45:56,587
And I just can't see myself doing
anything else besides programming.
796
00:45:59,173 --> 00:46:00,257
It's all up to me.
797
00:46:00,883 --> 00:46:04,470
It's not going to change
unless I want it to change.
798
00:46:05,179 --> 00:46:07,264
So, that really drives me
799
00:46:08,682 --> 00:46:10,517
to try and do the best that I can.
800
00:46:12,895 --> 00:46:15,647
[Chertavian]
So now, to walk us through the full stack,
801
00:46:15,731 --> 00:46:16,982
we have Bilal and Andres.
802
00:46:20,736 --> 00:46:23,238
Public-speaking skills
are incredibly important skills.
803
00:46:26,909 --> 00:46:28,869
And it's all about practice.
804
00:46:30,662 --> 00:46:32,581
Say that speech ten times
805
00:46:32,664 --> 00:46:35,292
in your basement, in your bathroom,
wherever you are.
806
00:46:35,375 --> 00:46:36,585
Get comfortable with it.
807
00:46:38,378 --> 00:46:39,963
People think public speakers were born.
808
00:46:41,882 --> 00:46:43,509
Public speakers just practice.
809
00:46:46,637 --> 00:46:50,557
[Carter] Going into corporate America,
going into a job or a company,
810
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:52,267
you have to go into it
811
00:46:52,351 --> 00:46:55,270
{\an8}knowing that you can execute
and get what they want done,
812
00:46:55,354 --> 00:46:58,565
because if you don't have that confidence,
813
00:46:58,649 --> 00:47:01,485
the people within the company
who you need to work with
814
00:47:01,568 --> 00:47:03,445
will see it quickly and make assumptions.
815
00:47:03,529 --> 00:47:07,115
"He doesn't get it. Shouldn't work here,"
and then move on.
816
00:47:07,699 --> 00:47:11,119
So we're gonna first start off with
what is full stack development.
817
00:47:11,203 --> 00:47:14,957
It is basically
everything from front to the back end.
818
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:21,004
The front end consists of a webpage,
typically from HTML and CSS.
819
00:47:21,088 --> 00:47:23,674
And then, you also have the back end
which would be…
820
00:47:23,757 --> 00:47:26,593
Think of it like
the machine of the application.
821
00:47:26,677 --> 00:47:31,390
[Carter] It's important to always have andshow and let people know you're confident
822
00:47:31,473 --> 00:47:33,684
without being cocky or overbearing.
823
00:47:35,060 --> 00:47:36,687
It's very, very important to do that,
824
00:47:36,770 --> 00:47:39,314
because you want, again,the people at the company
825
00:47:39,398 --> 00:47:40,816
to want to work with you.
826
00:47:47,864 --> 00:47:50,450
[Zane] Safety panels, fire safety panels,
827
00:47:50,534 --> 00:47:53,412
I learnt how to wire up
surround sound systems.
828
00:47:53,495 --> 00:47:56,123
I was like, "See, this is what
I'm going to use in my real life.
829
00:47:56,206 --> 00:47:59,001
I'm gonna hook my living room up,"
you know?
830
00:47:59,084 --> 00:48:01,169
I think you're a good conversationalist.
831
00:48:01,253 --> 00:48:04,798
He goes into quiet spaces,
he makes people feel comfortable to speak.
832
00:48:04,881 --> 00:48:06,883
- [woman] You think that about yourself?
- Yeah.
833
00:48:06,967 --> 00:48:10,262
- [Zane] I think very little of myself.
- No, you don't, Zane.
834
00:48:10,345 --> 00:48:12,014
You have a lot of confidence.
835
00:48:12,097 --> 00:48:13,390
[Zane] No, I do…
836
00:48:13,974 --> 00:48:15,309
fake it.
837
00:48:15,392 --> 00:48:17,185
No, I have confidence,
838
00:48:17,269 --> 00:48:19,980
but there's some things
I'll still be like,
839
00:48:20,063 --> 00:48:21,690
"Yeah, I could do better at this."
840
00:48:21,773 --> 00:48:23,900
There's always room for improvement
for everything.
841
00:48:23,984 --> 00:48:25,944
- Yeah.
- I think you are a good conversationalist.
842
00:48:26,028 --> 00:48:28,280
[Brianna] He'll walk in, say,
"Good morning, everyone."
843
00:48:28,363 --> 00:48:30,574
Who is this loud boy? Oh, it's Zane.
844
00:48:30,657 --> 00:48:32,367
Like, you know? Who is this loud…
845
00:48:32,451 --> 00:48:34,411
Loud? I didn't know I was loud.
846
00:48:34,494 --> 00:48:37,122
[Brianna] It's okay.
You have, I think, a commanding voice.
847
00:48:37,205 --> 00:48:39,166
- Oh, thank you.
- Yeah. That's good.
848
00:48:39,249 --> 00:48:41,168
- You bring people together.
- Really?
849
00:48:41,251 --> 00:48:44,796
- There we go. Yeah, he does.
- I just have been able to do that here.
850
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:45,922
- Really?
- Yeah.
851
00:48:46,006 --> 00:48:48,091
Well, good job. [laughs]
852
00:48:48,175 --> 00:48:49,843
Thank you, guys. I appreciate it.
853
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,431
[Eschenbach] These softer skills,
also sometimes known as EQ,
854
00:48:55,182 --> 00:48:58,769
{\an8}I find to be just as important as IQ.
855
00:48:58,852 --> 00:49:02,481
Being authentic,
being humble, being grounded.
856
00:49:02,564 --> 00:49:05,150
Empathy is really important.
857
00:49:05,233 --> 00:49:06,985
Caring for others.
858
00:49:07,069 --> 00:49:11,406
You get this through experience.
You get this from engaging with others.
859
00:49:11,490 --> 00:49:14,910
You get this from watching
what the best people do,
860
00:49:14,993 --> 00:49:16,453
and you take the best of all that
861
00:49:16,536 --> 00:49:19,122
and incorporate it
into your leadership style.
862
00:49:19,206 --> 00:49:20,290
[imperceptible]
863
00:49:31,385 --> 00:49:34,930
[Zane] I'm in here most of…
[chuckles softly] most of my time.
864
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,975
I needed to find something outside of MTA
865
00:49:39,059 --> 00:49:41,269
that worked my brain,that was challenging,
866
00:49:42,020 --> 00:49:45,774
so that I can just, uh,have something to do
867
00:49:45,857 --> 00:49:49,486
instead of just waiting forthe next time I had to go into work.
868
00:49:49,569 --> 00:49:52,364
What's good, y'all? It's your boy OneDay
back with another video.
869
00:49:52,447 --> 00:49:53,865
I'm trying some new things out.
870
00:49:53,949 --> 00:49:57,536
{\an8}If this is your first time being here,
share, like… [voice fades]
871
00:49:57,619 --> 00:49:59,788
{\an8}During the pandemic,I was the only one working.
872
00:50:00,539 --> 00:50:02,916
My wife was at home,holding down the fort,
873
00:50:02,999 --> 00:50:06,670
and I was the onethat was holding it down financially.
874
00:50:08,213 --> 00:50:09,548
Now the roles have switched.
875
00:50:09,631 --> 00:50:13,593
She goes like, "You did your time at MTAand you were miserable.
876
00:50:14,219 --> 00:50:16,680
"It's my turn nowto take care of things financially"
877
00:50:16,763 --> 00:50:21,101
while you go outand do what you need to do to be better."
878
00:50:25,647 --> 00:50:27,149
I don't have children yet,
879
00:50:27,232 --> 00:50:31,403
but I've been thinking about themfor years.
880
00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:36,241
I did not want to have a babywhile working at MTA,
881
00:50:36,324 --> 00:50:39,870
because of how tired I was all the timeand how I just was not happy.
882
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,705
Way happier now,
883
00:50:42,414 --> 00:50:44,499
but the financial parthasn't come back yet.
884
00:50:44,583 --> 00:50:47,961
So, this is pretty muchphase one on our plan.
885
00:50:48,754 --> 00:50:50,130
Be happy, get through this,
886
00:50:50,213 --> 00:50:54,926
and then get the well-paying jobthat, you know, children need.
887
00:51:11,568 --> 00:51:12,569
Good morning.
888
00:51:12,652 --> 00:51:15,697
- Zane.
- Nice to see you again. How are you doing?
889
00:51:15,781 --> 00:51:17,407
[indistinct conversation]
890
00:51:17,491 --> 00:51:18,909
Yeah, yeah, everybody's here.
891
00:51:18,992 --> 00:51:21,495
[exchanging greetings]
892
00:51:25,957 --> 00:51:27,334
- Good to see you.
- You too.
893
00:51:27,417 --> 00:51:29,795
- Okay, we're ready when you are.
- All right.
894
00:51:31,546 --> 00:51:32,798
Okay, good morning.
895
00:51:32,881 --> 00:51:34,466
Um, my name is Zane Richards.
896
00:51:34,549 --> 00:51:38,178
I'm a part of the IT track at Year Up.
897
00:51:38,261 --> 00:51:41,389
The thought process used to be,
"I've never done this before.
898
00:51:41,473 --> 00:51:44,559
"I don't think
I'm going to be able to do it,"
899
00:51:44,643 --> 00:51:46,770
or I don't think
I'm going to be able to succeed."
900
00:51:46,853 --> 00:51:48,146
With technical support,
901
00:51:48,230 --> 00:51:52,067
troubleshooting skills
and communication skills go hand-in-hand.
902
00:51:52,150 --> 00:51:55,904
My thought process now is,"Okay, I'm going to try my best,
903
00:51:55,987 --> 00:51:59,783
"and if I don't succeed,I'm gonna learn from it,"
904
00:51:59,866 --> 00:52:02,202
and then I'll be able to apply it later."
905
00:52:02,285 --> 00:52:04,454
That's something that I understand
way more now.
906
00:52:04,538 --> 00:52:06,873
Honestly, it was just
a whole bunch of numbers to me.
907
00:52:06,957 --> 00:52:10,085
And it was like,
"I don't know how to make sense of this."
908
00:52:10,168 --> 00:52:15,006
{\an8}Giving yourself the space to fail,
that's a big deal.
909
00:52:15,090 --> 00:52:18,385
{\an8}And I remember hearing that from managers
as I was coming through the ranks.
910
00:52:18,468 --> 00:52:20,929
And I didn't get it until later.
911
00:52:21,012 --> 00:52:24,307
And I couldn't say that before,
five, six years ago.
912
00:52:24,391 --> 00:52:26,309
I was still in a space where I felt like
913
00:52:26,393 --> 00:52:33,400
if I felt a question was "stupid"
or "not smart," then I wouldn't ask it,
914
00:52:33,483 --> 00:52:35,151
but now I'm a space where I don't care.
915
00:52:35,235 --> 00:52:38,613
If I want the information,
I'm going to ask the question.
916
00:52:38,697 --> 00:52:41,575
[Dr. Jackson] Unless you are willing to
take a bit of a risk,
917
00:52:41,658 --> 00:52:43,577
it's hard for you
to get to the next level.
918
00:52:43,660 --> 00:52:45,579
It's hard for you to learn anything.
919
00:52:45,662 --> 00:52:48,748
You have to be able to risk
not being able to do it
920
00:52:48,832 --> 00:52:50,125
to actually learn it.
921
00:52:50,208 --> 00:52:53,211
[woman] I also have some feedback
I can share with you.
922
00:52:53,295 --> 00:52:54,921
Okay. I love feedback.
923
00:52:56,756 --> 00:53:01,011
To succeed in corporate America,
they're gonna have to be willing to fail,
924
00:53:01,094 --> 00:53:04,681
to ask questions, to not know the answer,
and to be vulnerable.
925
00:53:12,022 --> 00:53:14,566
[Megan] I need to believe in myself first.
926
00:53:14,649 --> 00:53:18,486
Like, I cannot expect anyone
to believe in me and my capabilities
927
00:53:18,570 --> 00:53:19,905
and what I'm gonna do.
928
00:53:19,988 --> 00:53:22,073
So if I do it first, and then…
929
00:53:22,157 --> 00:53:26,077
I did, so my family, everyone around me
was like, "Okay, you're doing this. Okay."
930
00:53:26,161 --> 00:53:27,996
[laughs] So, yeah.
931
00:53:28,079 --> 00:53:31,499
Can I ask… It's a little different
'cause I don't have kids yet,
932
00:53:31,583 --> 00:53:34,336
so, when I'm planning my goals,
I'm just thinking about myself.
933
00:53:34,419 --> 00:53:36,671
How is it different for you
that you do have a child?
934
00:53:36,755 --> 00:53:38,048
[Andres] That's a good question.
935
00:53:38,131 --> 00:53:41,968
[Megan] Literally everything that I do,
every decision that I make,
936
00:53:42,052 --> 00:53:44,012
it is based on her future.
937
00:53:44,095 --> 00:53:47,349
So, all of my goals is based on,
938
00:53:47,432 --> 00:53:50,769
"When you get older,
you're gonna be good." [laughs]
939
00:53:51,853 --> 00:53:55,315
If I fail, I don't feel like
I'm just failing myself.
940
00:53:55,398 --> 00:53:58,234
I'm failing everyone that believes in me.
941
00:53:58,318 --> 00:54:03,323
[laughs nervously] And even though that's
a heavy burden to put on your shoulder,
942
00:54:03,406 --> 00:54:05,617
but that's what keeps me motivated.
943
00:54:05,700 --> 00:54:08,954
My mom and my daughter and my grandmother,
944
00:54:09,037 --> 00:54:10,497
and that's who's in America.
945
00:54:10,580 --> 00:54:12,707
But if you go into my family in Trinidad,
946
00:54:12,791 --> 00:54:16,586
you have my cousins and my uncles
and my nieces and my nephews.
947
00:54:16,670 --> 00:54:20,298
They're all rooting for us in America
948
00:54:20,382 --> 00:54:24,302
to, like, try to be able to help them.
949
00:54:30,433 --> 00:54:32,435
[vocal warm-up]
950
00:54:35,105 --> 00:54:38,024
It helps me enunciate my words
a little better,
951
00:54:38,108 --> 00:54:43,154
and loosen up my body,
or my mouth, if I'm too tight,
952
00:54:43,238 --> 00:54:46,199
um, so that I'm ready to talk.
953
00:54:46,282 --> 00:54:49,452
I feel like
the first five seconds someone sees you,
954
00:54:49,536 --> 00:54:50,870
that's how they judge you,
955
00:54:50,954 --> 00:54:53,707
and you need to present your best self.
956
00:55:02,966 --> 00:55:04,926
- Good morning.
- [man] Good morning.
957
00:55:10,140 --> 00:55:11,474
[Jeter] We're ready when you are.
958
00:55:12,767 --> 00:55:14,519
Hi, my name is Megan Sampson,
959
00:55:14,602 --> 00:55:19,149
and this is one of my capstone projects
to end my Year Up session.
960
00:55:19,232 --> 00:55:21,276
Um, mmm… [chuckles]
961
00:55:21,901 --> 00:55:22,902
Can I start over?
962
00:55:29,868 --> 00:55:30,994
I got this.
963
00:55:31,077 --> 00:55:34,414
I can do this. I got this. I can do this.
964
00:55:35,915 --> 00:55:37,792
I can, I can, I can.
965
00:55:37,876 --> 00:55:38,960
[inhales deeply]
966
00:55:41,838 --> 00:55:43,048
Hi, everyone.
967
00:55:43,131 --> 00:55:45,216
- [Jeter] Good morning.
- [man] Hi, good morning.
968
00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:48,178
[Carter] Focus is a big part of surviving.
969
00:55:49,345 --> 00:55:51,431
There's focus on the task at hand,
970
00:55:51,514 --> 00:55:53,641
there's focus onwhat you're trying to accomplish,
971
00:55:53,725 --> 00:55:55,518
and there's focus on where you wanna go.
972
00:55:55,602 --> 00:55:57,228
And we have the output,
973
00:55:57,312 --> 00:56:00,523
and we link it to the Java script
that has the data,
974
00:56:00,607 --> 00:56:03,610
and that's how we output it
in the drop-down.
975
00:56:04,235 --> 00:56:06,613
[Carter] The more focused,
the more disciplined people
976
00:56:06,696 --> 00:56:10,617
{\an8}can actually sometimes go further than
the smart people or the talented
977
00:56:10,700 --> 00:56:11,826
{\an8}who lack that focus.
978
00:56:11,910 --> 00:56:12,911
[imperceptible]
979
00:56:14,662 --> 00:56:17,415
[Carter] You have to focus on the task
every day.
980
00:56:17,499 --> 00:56:19,667
What I got to do?
What's the job? How do I deliver?
981
00:56:19,751 --> 00:56:23,046
But also, big picture:
Where do I wanna go?
982
00:56:24,172 --> 00:56:25,590
What do I want this all to mean?
983
00:56:36,810 --> 00:56:39,729
[Cuban] When you get that first job,
you're getting paid to learn.
984
00:56:39,813 --> 00:56:42,398
{\an8}And it doesn't matter
if you dropped out in tenth grade,
985
00:56:42,482 --> 00:56:44,692
{\an8}you graduated from high school,
you went to college,
986
00:56:44,776 --> 00:56:47,195
{\an8}you got a master's degree in whatever.
987
00:56:48,113 --> 00:56:50,240
When you get that first job,
you get paid to learn.
988
00:56:50,323 --> 00:56:52,617
And if you look at it that way,
as an opportunity
989
00:56:52,700 --> 00:56:55,286
to educate yourself
about the business world,
990
00:56:55,370 --> 00:56:57,122
about whatever it is you're doing,
991
00:56:57,872 --> 00:57:02,210
then you'll start realizing that
that's the foundation to do other things.
992
00:57:03,628 --> 00:57:08,049
At the end of a day,
companies need folks who can learn,
993
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:10,176
and who bring
a set of skills and competencies.
994
00:57:11,219 --> 00:57:14,597
And the way work is structured today
is much more about teamwork.
995
00:57:14,681 --> 00:57:16,683
It's about
the attitudes and behaviors you need,
996
00:57:16,766 --> 00:57:18,685
it's about emotional intelligence,
997
00:57:18,768 --> 00:57:20,687
it's about complex communications.
998
00:57:20,770 --> 00:57:22,981
{\an8}These are things you can actually assess.
999
00:57:32,824 --> 00:57:35,118
[Ruben Harris]
You have to protect your dreams out here.
1000
00:57:36,035 --> 00:57:38,413
{\an8}Not just from haters and negative energy…
1001
00:57:38,496 --> 00:57:40,498
[indistinct conversations]
1002
00:57:41,499 --> 00:57:43,668
…you gotta protect your dreams
from yourself.
1003
00:57:47,464 --> 00:57:51,050
When you're going on this journey,
there will be doubt.
1004
00:57:53,678 --> 00:57:56,431
As long as you are doing your best
every single day,
1005
00:57:57,599 --> 00:57:59,934
you will figure it out. Just don't quit.

[all cheering]
1035
01:00:23,494 --> 01:00:26,539
I have the privilege of announcing
1036
01:00:26,623 --> 01:00:29,334
the interns

1037
01:00:30,293 --> 01:00:31,294

01:00:33,338 --> 01:00:36,591

1046
01:01:12,669 --> 01:01:14,879
And I have the pleasure
of announcing the interns
1047
01:01:14,962 --> 01:01:16,589

1048
01:01:18,549 --> 01:01:21,719

1059
01:02:24,991 --> 01:02:27,201
And Megan Sampson!
1060
01:02:30,580 --> 01:02:31,581
[imperceptible]
1061
01:02:32,540 --> 01:02:34,125
[Jeter] Congratulations.
1062
01:02:58,900 --> 01:03:04,906
[Megan] On the train back home,I actually shed out a tear, like a couple.
1063
01:03:06,741 --> 01:03:12,622
It was like, "Wow, I am really goingto Johnson & Johnson.
1064
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,043
A company that I have been usingsince I was a baby."
1065
01:03:19,378 --> 01:03:20,546
It's like a dream.
1066
01:03:27,220 --> 01:03:31,474
[Zane] There was a timewhere I was afraid of success or failure.
1067
01:03:31,557 --> 01:03:35,436
But now I'm more about the journeyand learning from it.
1068
01:03:36,771 --> 01:03:39,315
I wanna keepthe same willingness to learn,
1069
01:03:40,066 --> 01:03:41,484
that same curiosity,
1070
01:03:42,735 --> 01:03:45,571
enter into my internship with laser focus.
1071
01:03:48,783 --> 01:03:50,660
[Megan] I'm excited for my daughter.
1072
01:03:51,786 --> 01:03:53,955
That's really why I was so emotional,
1073
01:03:54,539 --> 01:04:01,546
because to be able to look at her
and say like, "I'm really trying my best."
1074
01:04:11,556 --> 01:04:13,307
This is not just one or two people.
1075
01:04:13,391 --> 01:04:16,185
You're talking about
a significant percentage of your country
1076
01:04:16,269 --> 01:04:18,271
{\an8}that can gain access to economic mobility
1077
01:04:18,354 --> 01:04:21,399
{\an8}if we just change the way we think
and change the way we act.
1078
01:04:23,025 --> 01:04:25,319
[McMillon] The numbers
speak for themselves.
1079
01:04:25,403 --> 01:04:27,905
Skills-based hiring
and skills-based training
1080
01:04:27,989 --> 01:04:30,575
{\an8}are an important part
of the country's economy,
1081
01:04:30,658 --> 01:04:31,951
{\an8}and of the future.
1082
01:04:32,034 --> 01:04:32,910
And that takes work.
1083
01:04:32,994 --> 01:04:35,329
These are complex systems
and it didn't happen overnight.
1084
01:04:35,413 --> 01:04:39,584
{\an8}We need to open horizons,
look at skills, train people.
1085
01:04:40,418 --> 01:04:42,128
You can have these strategic visions,
1086
01:04:42,211 --> 01:04:45,840
but at the end of the day,
jobs lead to dignity, lead to health,
1087
01:04:45,923 --> 01:04:48,301
lead to homes, lead to families.
1088
01:04:48,384 --> 01:04:49,969
It is a virtuous cycle.
1089
01:04:52,054 --> 01:04:55,433
[Cuban] In order for communities
to grow and thrive,
1090
01:04:56,726 --> 01:05:01,230
{\an8}you have to be able to lift people up,
so that they can be participants.
1091
01:05:01,314 --> 01:05:03,024
{\an8}That's the American dream, right?
1092
01:05:03,107 --> 01:05:04,942
{\an8}We're all thriving.
1093
01:05:05,943 --> 01:05:08,821
We have to think about
people who live in rural communities.
1094
01:05:08,905 --> 01:05:12,325
We have to think about
people who live outside of urban centers.
1095
01:05:12,950 --> 01:05:15,870
We have talent
that is all over this country.
1096
01:05:15,953 --> 01:05:19,373
That results in us having
a more vibrant economy.
1097
01:05:19,457 --> 01:05:22,168
That results in
our country being more competitive.
1098
01:05:22,251 --> 01:05:24,837
{\an8}And this is why skills are so important,
1099
01:05:24,921 --> 01:05:27,381
because when you reskill your workforce,
1100
01:05:27,465 --> 01:05:30,593
you're prepared
to take advantage of the good times,
1101
01:05:30,676 --> 01:05:35,014
but you're also prepared for any headwind
that may come at you as well.
1102
01:05:35,097 --> 01:05:38,017
{\an8}Talent is what wins in the end.
1103
01:05:38,100 --> 01:05:40,353
{\an8}Teams are what win in the end.
1104
01:05:40,436 --> 01:05:41,896
{\an8}Skills are what deliver in the end.
1105
01:05:43,189 --> 01:05:47,151
In companies that find a way
to build diverse teams
1106
01:05:47,234 --> 01:05:51,072
with people who have the skills,
however they got them,
1107
01:05:51,155 --> 01:05:54,617
are companies who are going to win,
and are companies that should win.
1108
01:05:55,284 --> 01:05:58,829
When you actually allow people
to show what they can do,
1109
01:05:58,913 --> 01:06:00,456
they're gonna surprise you.
1110
01:06:01,415 --> 01:06:03,376
Then we've got a system that can work.
1111
01:06:04,794 --> 01:06:07,797

[pensive instrumental music playing]

01:09:17,862 --> 01:09:21,115
[woman] You know he asked me
if ham and pork were the same, right?
1115
01:09:21,198 --> 01:09:22,199
[Andres laughs]
1116
01:09:23,325 --> 01:09:24,952
No, I didn't know ham was pork.
1117
01:09:25,035 --> 01:09:25,995
[laughter]
1118
01:09:28,205 --> 01:09:30,207
[music continues]
1119
01:09:33,294 --> 01:09:37,673
She said, um, "Guess how many photos
I have in my phone."
1120
01:09:37,756 --> 01:09:40,176
- [laughter]
- I said, "3,000."
1121
01:09:40,259 --> 01:09:41,427
She said, "No."
1122
01:09:41,510 --> 01:09:43,220
I said, "8,000." She said, "No."
1123
01:09:43,304 --> 01:09:45,848
I said, "12,000."
She said she has 25,000 photos.
1124
01:09:45,931 --> 01:09:49,310
They're not photos of me.
They're TikToks and things that I saved.
1125
01:09:49,393 --> 01:09:53,314
I don't wanna hear that.
Why do you have 25,000 items?
1126
01:09:53,397 --> 01:09:54,857
Let's see… Do you wanna--
1127
01:09:54,940 --> 01:09:57,276
No, I don't wanna lose no more. No!
1128
01:10:02,573 --> 01:10:05,784
[Megan] I can't do that one.
Most I can do is this. I'll be like…
1129
01:10:08,579 --> 01:10:09,747
- You ready?
- I'm ready.
1130
01:10:09,830 --> 01:10:10,831
[Megan] All right.
1131
01:10:14,210 --> 01:10:15,211
[laughs]
1132
01:10:16,086 --> 01:10:17,338
[Zane whooping]
1133
01:10:17,922 --> 01:10:19,965
[Megan] Now you better do that.
You better be like…
1134
01:10:23,677 --> 01:10:27,014
- [Simge] Hey, wait, what are we doing?
- [Megan] We have to build a tower.
1135
01:10:27,681 --> 01:10:29,391
[Andres] Wait, are you from Brooklyn?
1136
01:10:29,934 --> 01:10:31,560
- Are you from Brooklyn?
- Yeah.
1137
01:10:33,354 --> 01:10:34,813
I said it real Brooklyn-y?
1138
01:10:34,897 --> 01:10:36,774
- Yeah.
