Career Literacy as a Means to Workforce Readiness

We’re thrilled to welcome Melissa Risteff – CEO & Co-Founder of Couragion to the show! Founded in 2015, Couragion is generously supported by the National Science Foundation – with an undertaking to improve the awareness and perception of STEM careers and to meaningfully broaden participation in these fields. Couragion strongly believes that career literacy should be integrally woven into education experiences to better inform student choice around pathways and increase retention in real-world career paths.
