“Students who only know how to perform well in today’s education system—get good grades and test scores, and earn degrees—will no longer be those who are most likely to succeed. Thriving in the twenty-first century will require real competencies, far more than academic credentials.”
― Tony Wagner

“There was a time when a degree was worth it in terms of cost/benefit. That time has passed. We prove it by hiring non-college grads and building true alternatives.”
