Hickenlooper @Hickforco We're depressing the product of #democracy because of attack ads and people are tuning out
Block @UCLA Theres real need for 2 years of national service for skills development. Whether its @PeaceCorps or #Military #MIGlobal
Aoun @PresidentAoun Public education is being defunded, this is a #scandal. What on earth is going on?

Mellow @LaGuardiaCC When you connect someone whos going to have a struggle with an employer, you've created a rich ecosystem. #HigherEd
Roden @PepsiCo We won't allow our #interns to work in the same state they're from, because they won't move. #ExperientialLearning #MIGlobal
Roden @PepsiCo You can't teach people to want to change but you can, provide experience, i.e. our #exchange programs #MIGlobal
Mellow @LaGuardiaCC #Experiential learning is expensive. Its very hard for my low income middle class students to get a paid internship.
.@jselingo I've been told 'We are hiring students who have been syllabuses their entire life' #HigherEd #Jobs
.@PresidentAoun we're encouraging students to have a major and a minor in two different field, i.e. #engineering and #history #HigherEd

.@jselingo I'm worried that 15% will soon be 25% or 30% and even top tier jobs are being effected.
Governor @Hickforco aprox 15% of people in Colorado currently in jobs making less than they did 15 years ago #middleclass #jobs #MIGlobal
Governor @Hickforco we're ranked 4th on wages and employment being lifted up, but we're not happy with that.
Mellow @LaGuardiaCC if we focus on learning after a bachelors we're missing an entire populous of people that will be a drain on #economy
#Leadership, #PublicSpeaking, the ability to #communicate - what Roden @PepsiCo looks for in skilled workers #MiddleClass #Jobs
Roden @PepsiCo Lifelong learning doesn't happen only during #education programs. #LifelongLearning #HigherEd
.@PresidentAoun We decided not to teach coding at our #extensions because coding is going to be like typewriting in #highschools #MIGlobal

Block @UCLA I want to give our #Alumni a lifetime guarantee to project skills they'll need to develop through out there careers #MIGlobal
For life-long learners you have to go to them and meet their needs in terms of time and credentials. @PresidentAoun #MIGlobal

.@PresidentAoun We have to look at #time as being a factor, and so the #degree needs to change. We need to look at #certificates. #MIGlobal
