I had the opportunity to sit down with President Gordon Jones. He is the President of the College of Western Idaho. Gordon brought so much to the Podcast including experiences from working with Gillette, earning an MBA from Stanford to starting an entrepreneurial program at Harvard. We had a wonderful conversation that spanned his entire career. My questions were:
What do you do today?
What set you on that path?
What was your experience when working for Fortune 500 companies?
What did you like about it? What did you wish you could change?
What did you do at Harvard? What was it like building out that program? What were you teaching?
How has the business world changed in the past 20 years?
What are we getting right? What do we still need to work on?
How did you get to CWI?
How are you preparing students to enter the workforce?
How can local businesses collaborate to support access to affordable education?
In this difficult labor market, how is CWI preparing our future workers?
What does education look like in the future if community colleges?
What do you see as the shift from standard bachelor degrees to alternative education sources?
