Who Needs College Anymore? ft. Kathleen deLaski

  • April 3, 2025
  • Bruno Manno

On this episode of Radically Pragmatic, PPI’s Senior Advisor and Director of the What Works Lab, Bruno Manno is joined by Kathleen deLaski, a Senior Advisor at the Project on Workforce at Harvard.

The pair discuss deLaski’s new book, “Who Needs College Anymore?”, which she describes as a blueprint for a world in which a college degree is not the only way to unlock professional success. She touches on the workarounds that could well become the “new normal” for how America prepares for work.

Kathleen’s book can be ordered ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.
