In this episode of Works In Process, host George Garrastegui Jr. announces the podcast's evolution toward a thematic season focused on bridging the gap between academic education and the creative industry.
Recorded live at the One Club for Creativity's Educators Summit, the episode features a discussion with a panel of experts, including researcher and strategist Or Szyflingier, senior design manager Sabrina Hall, and creative director José López-Sánchez.
They explore the importance of 'durable skills,' such as communication, teamwork, and self-advocacy, that emerging creatives need to thrive in the professional world. The panel also shares insights on effective teaching methodologies, inclusive curricula, dealing with failure, and the significance of show-and-tell activities to develop these essential skills. The episode aims to equip educators and emerging creatives with the knowledge and tools required for a successful transition from academia to industry.
Enjoy!
