Getting with the Times in Education
This week’s guest is Timothy Walker.

Timothy shares how Houston Community College is doing just that.
The tumultuous nature of recent years has left many struggling to keep their heads above water, especially in the global workspace. Almost every industry has undergone changes to their operations. With these changes come new demands - demands which may no longer be satisfied with traditional methods of education. Houston Community College offers a variety of programs to help students prepare for the new work world, including certificates, degrees, and virtual internships. Their professors are highly committed to their students, providing excellent and relevant training, as well as support.
To nurture flexibility and the ability to adapt to future changes, Houston Community College keeps an eye on developments in various industries. This is where traditional education has always been lacking, Timothy comments. Traditional education has historically always lagged behind industry.
