Fixing the Skills Visibility Gap in Career Readiness & Hiring

Brief description of the episode

K–12 is not too early for career readiness. Waiting until senior year means many academic choices and career pathways are already set. At the same time, hiring is shifting toward skills-based hiring, where employers look for demonstrated skills, work samples, and real evidence of capability. In this episode of Tech in EdTech, Zahra speaks with Allison Danielsen, CEO of Tallo, about what this means for students and the systems meant to support them. They discuss early-career exposure, work-based learning, and how schools can help make student skills visible as hiring signals change.
