Recorded live at the 2025 ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, this session featured Marie Groark, Managing Director at the Schultz Family Foundation; Daniel Fisher, President & CEO of ECMC Group; Jane Swift, President of Education at Work; and Connor Harrington, CEO of Kuder, Inc. The conversation was moderated by Julie Lammers, Executive Vice President at American Student Assistance (ASA).

The session explored the urgent need to support young people in navigating an increasingly complex post-secondary landscape. As education and training beyond high school become more essential than ever, panelists shared how their organizations are building scalable solutions to help learners discover the right paths for their futures. The discussion focused on what it takes to bring these tools to market at scale—and how collaboration among educators, employers, and policymakers can better align education and skills with the needs of students and regional economies.
