By 2036, 70% of jobs in Texas will require post-secondary credentials. But only 1 in 5 Houston ISD graduates from the class of 2017 are earning a living wage today.
This gap between what the economy demands and what students achieve isn’t just about academics. It’s about relationships, networks, and the social capital that opens doors to opportunity.
That’s why we’re launching Learning Curve Conversations, a five-part podcast series exploring what it really takes for public schools to become engines of economic mobility.
Episode 1 features Brian Lightfoot from Access Opportunity, who challenges us to move beyond individual networking to systematic relationship-building. His key insight: “It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you.”
