Education for Adults
All across Ohio, employers are having trouble filling positions essential to our economy. While Ohio is second among the states in job creation, more than 150,000 good jobs have gone unfilled because too few people in the state have the necessary knowledge and skills for those careers. To address this challenge, Ohio has set a […]

Transitioning to Reserves
Servicemembers are faced with an important decision at the end of their enlistment: whether to separate from military service or transition into the Reserves. The Reserves offer many great opportunities, including the opportunity to remain associated with the military without the full-time commitment of being active duty. Military Reservists commonly work two days a month […]

Entrepreneurial Spirit
There must be something about military training that is conducive to business. Veterans are 45 percent more likely to be self-employed than non-vets. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, one in 10 small businesses is owned by a veteran, collectively generating $1.4 trillion in annual sales. So it’s no surprise the U.S. Small Business Administration […]

Inclusion for MOOCs
By definition, MOOCs are massive. It’s not atypical for a given course to bring in tens of thousands+ of students looking to re-skill, study, learn a language, or feed their curiosity. With any population that size, there will be a great deal of diversity. So—how does an instructor tango with that dance partner? How do […]

Lonely, Bored
Veterans face a variety of problems once they leave the service. Whether it’s accurate or not, many veterans feel life is a little harder for them than for most people. But what if a big part of the problem wasn’t so much PTSD or poor transition assistance — at least not directly — but rather […]

Not What Flag Stands For
As the CEO of Task & Purpose, I’ve tried to create a community that is above partisan politics and all that divides us today. I’ve also tried to make this a place that gives voice to multiple sides of an issue. If our community, those of us who have shared experiences in battle and in […]

Grading Army College
I have spent the past year being graded, evaluated, and assessed as a student at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC). After graduating and reflecting over the past year, I will now grade, evaluate, and assess CGSC. You will find that I am extremely candid and pride myself in speaking my mind. […]

Failing Mission
This past week, nearly a dozen national veterans and military service organizations assembled on Capitol Hill in a united front to voice their concerns about the House of Representatives’ Higher Education Act reauthorization, known as the PROSPER Act. The PROSPER Act — which could head to the House floor on June 18 — would roll […]

4 Questions
Even though for-profit colleges get a bad rap for being predatory and leaving students saddled with debt but no degree, a significant number of private nonprofit and public colleges have the same issues. For example, a recent analysis examined 781 colleges where most students borrow and few can repay their loans. While the analysis found […]

Lifetime Learning
In a world of rapid technological and economic transition, it is now imperative that people engage in lifelong learning. The traditional model, in which people focus their learning on the years before age 25, then get a job and devote little attention to education thereafter, is rapidly becoming obsolete. In the contemporary world, people can […]

Social Engineering
AFTER RESCINDING A White House invitation to the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles last week amid a nasty spat over protest and patriotism, President Trump decided to honor “the great men and women of our military” instead. Standing on the South Lawn, hand over heart, he sang along as the United States Marine Band and […]

Empowering Transition
Veterans are the unacknowledged permanent ambassadors of national service. How we publicly portray veterans directly relates to how society conceptualizes military service, including what happens to an individual during that service. In an all-volunteer force, reputation is key to the attractiveness of joining a profession that can end in death or permanent disability. Read More
