One more thing! Are entry level jobs disappearing? Chris Webb says there's more to the story.

What if the way we designed career education wasn't just through a lens of “what works”, but “what might work here”. The “here” makes it about context. The “might” makes it an experiment - something that is crucial to how we design schooling for student futures. In this episode, Liv and Marian talk with Professor Glenn Savage, Professor of Education Futures at the University of Melbourne and author of The Quest for Revolution in Australian Schooling Policy. Glenn was the 15 year o...
