College Presidents are more in tune than ever before with the need for and benefits of building a strong and effective career readiness ecosystem on their campus. In this episode, President Weinberg speaks to important topics such as why we need to act, how to gain faculty buy-in, skills infusion, bold commitments, career readiness AND a liberal arts education simultaneously, building public trust through career preparation, measurement, and his hopes for the future of higher education.
“When we put our flag in the ground and said that we were going to redefine how we prepare students for careers, we stepped back and said, ‘What are the right questions?’”

Once upon a time, just having a career center was enough to satisfy and impress students and families. Today? Not even close. In Episode 1 of The Career Ecosystem Era in Higher Education Podcast, Jeremy chats with his colleagues at The Collective to unpack the big shift toward Career Ecosystems—and why it’s one of the most important transitions higher education can make right now.
“A Career Ecosystem is way more than a buzzword; it's a movement. That’s why we started this podcast.”
