In this podcast we explore the journey of Bryanna Morris and how the organization oneten.org and Cisco changed the trajectory of her professional career in a major way at a critical time in her life. This podcast explores the following questions:
- How do we better match "skills" or the ability for someone to do a job vs just looking at credentials based on a 4 year college degree.
- How can we improve access to professional jobs for those in minority communities. How do we close the opportunity gap?
We explore these questions through Bryanna's very compelling story.
