Episode 23: Pivot Tables & The Broken Promise of Higher Ed

Kalani Leifer is a former high school history teacher and the
founder of COOP, a fast-growing non-profit that supports cohorts
of 1st generation undergrads entering the workforce. Together, he
and Monica Guzman, Program Manager and alum of Cohort 1, are
evolving a model aimed at supplementing skills that prepare
students for high tech jobs. Who knew that basic software
remediation might be what stands in the way for many. But the
biggest difference for 1st gen students they say? "Literacies"
that are social above all else.
