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 get a college education first. 353 00:22:15,208 --> 00:22:17,502 He knows what he wants to do and 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] Throughout the '80s and the '90s in our country, 383 00:23:51,888 --> 00:23:55,183 we began a rhetoric that said everyone 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 snapshot shows a staggering increase 393 00:24:23,378 --> 00:24:26,047 in the number of people who have lost their jobs. 394 00:24:26,131 --> 00:24:31,094 The nation's unemployment rate bolted 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 computer that'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.
