How Are We Training Today's Students for the Growing Gig Economy of Tomorrow
Check out this recent article that features my work.
"Campbell Thomason is a Freshman at the University of Indianapolis and in addition to succeeding in the classroom, he is taking on leadership roles on campus and has started his own DJ business. Reflecting on high school, he says, “The PBL environment I experienced helped me prepare and equip myself with the skills and ingenuity of a 21st Century entrepreneur. The collaborative and project-based culture helped me build the required skills and mindset of a strong problem solver. With my discovered talents I was able to create my own DJ business, which provided me the opportunity to grow my skills in a fun and creative manner and learn interdependently with peers and clients.”
