Fireside Chat with Brandon Langer, MCIU Pennsylvania
"Student Readiness in PA and Find Your Grind's approach to career-connected learning"

In our latest podcast with Brandon Langer, Director of Innovation and Strategic Partnerships in PA, we dove into the mission and impact of Find Your Grind and how we’re reshaping education to prepare students for the future of work. We discussed how Find Your Grind helps students align their career paths with their unique lifestyles, emphasizing self-awareness and adaptability as essential tools for success.

Brandon highlighted the standout elements of the platform, from the care in UX design to the personalized student experience, and we explored how FYG empowers schools to adopt student-centered learning and career-connected education. I shared stories of our impact, where students moved beyond traditional career options to explore industries that fit their strengths, and touched on trends like the growing demand for creativity, collaboration, and digital skills in the workforce.

We also covered how FYG leverages technology to personalize learning and integrates seamlessly with schools, while looking ahead to future innovations like AI-driven tools, expanded micro-credentialing, and scaling our reach to empower more students. This conversation reminded me of why we do what we do—helping students design futures they’re passionate about and equipping them with the skills to thrive.
