RESKILLING AMERICA Learning to Labor in the 21st Century

Authors Newman and Winston take a deep dive into education in the U.S. and around the world and provide a compelling argument for a renewed emphasis on vocational education at the high school level. They aim to replace the current idea that high schools need to prepare all students for college in order to secure their futures. Narrator Callie Beaulieu narrates this work in a straightforward way that emphasizes the practical approach of the authors. As cases are presented from Career and Technology Education (CTE) high schools in the United States as well as those in Europe, Beaulieu does not alter her pace or use any accents that would distract from the book's message. Overall, Beaulieu provides a reading that is easy to listen to at a pace that allows the listener to digest the stories and arguments.
