Ep 312 Cutting Edge Education - Global Pathways for Success ft. Jennifer Williams

Jennifer Williams is a distinguished US Navy Veteran, an esteemed international speaker, and a fervent advocate for global education. 

With an unwavering commitment to fostering tailored learning experiences, Jennifer champions the development of blended learning programs that cater to the unique needs of individual students, nurturing their academic success within a supportive environment.

At the forefront of Jennifer's mission is empowering individuals to discover their ideal career paths, both domestically and internationally. In early 2022, she embarked on the establishment of GPS (Global Pathways for Success). 

This groundbreaking initiative offers access to over 65+ career tracks and 50+ pathways, equipping students with more than 100 certifications across various industries. Jennifer's vision is to train and support students and adults worldwide in finding fulfilling careers they are passionate about. While GPS currently focuses on Career and Technical Education (CTE), the ultimate goal is to expand its reach to include an international K-12 school.

 “Social emotional learning is important. You're not gonna like everybody that you work with in the future and they are not gonna like you... and that's okay." - Jennifer Williams
