THE GUEST

Ryan Craig is an investor, author, and education change agent. He's Managing Director at Achieve Partners, co-founder of Apprenticeships for America, and the sharp pen behind the bi-weekly Gap Letter. His trilogy of books—College Disrupted, A New U, and, most recently, Apprentice Nation—has made him the go-to voice for “earn-while-you-learn” pathways that out-perform ever more expensive degrees. I met Ryan at this year's ASU+GSV Summit, where he talked about scaling apprenticeships, whether college is still worth it, and how a new ecosystem is emerging to serve the gap between learning and earning. Ryan joins us today to explore how intermediaries can unlock millions of new “earn-while-you-learn” opportunities across all industries.
