Erik is joined on this episode by Daniel Pianko (@danielpianko), co-founder and managing director of University Ventures, and Andy Hall (@AndyHall_SD), COO of the San Diego Workforce Partnership. They talk about: - How ISAs have been able to transform lives through Andy’s program in San Diego. - Why tech titans providing massive amounts of money for scholarships is a suboptimal way of getting underprivileged people into school. - The chasm between work and school in America. - The fact that over 50% of all private donations go to 50 schools in the US. - Potential bottlenecks to ISA adoption and how they can be solved. - Why only 25% of people end up with a first job related to their degree. - How to think about public vs. private responsibility to increase access to education in the US.
