SummaryIn this episode of the Guiding Voice podcast, manufacturing industry leader Terry Iverson challenges conventional thinking about education and career paths, highlighting the critical gap between what young people aspire to and what the job market actually offers. He explores how mentorship—particularly reverse mentoring—is transforming workplaces by bridging generational divides, with younger employees teaching older professionals about technology while gaining invaluable industry wisdom in return. The conversation confronts a stark reality: only one in five American teens consider skilled trades as a viable career option, despite apprenticeship programs offering equal or greater earning potential than entry-level college positions, without the burden of student debt. Terry emphasizes that parents and educators must reframe the narrative around career success, recognizing that the traditional college path is not the only route forward, and highlighting how women now comprise 30% of advanced manufacturing positions—a testament to the inclusivity and opportunity in skilled trades. Through personal stories and hard data, he makes a compelling case for tailored educational journeys and the importance of understanding return on education (ROE) alongside understanding individual strengths.Key TakeawaysMisconceptions & Reality:Only one in five American teens consider skilled trades as a viable career optionMany young people are not using their college degrees in their careersThe traditional college path is not the only route to successYou haven't failed your child if they don't follow the conventional pathMentorship & Generational Impact:Mentorship is fundamentally a two-way streetReverse mentoring is a growing practice in Fortune 500 companiesYoung people offer valuable technological insights to older generationsYounger generations are actively mentoring older professionals in the workforceFinancial & Career Benefits:Apprenticeship programs can pay as well as or more than entry-level college jobsApprenticeships allow individuals to avoid significant student debtReturn on Education (ROE) is as important as the educational choice itselfManufacturing offers exciting, overlooked career opportunitiesWorkforce Diversity & Inclusion:Women now comprise 30% of advanced manufacturing positions in the USSkilled trades are increasingly inclusive and diverseThe integration of technology in skilled trades is essential for future growthPractical Guidance for Parents & Youth:Each child's educational path should be tailored to their individual needs and strengthsApprenticeships combined with internships enhance real-world career readinessParents should remain open to diverse educational and career optionsIt's never too late to pivot and adapt in one's career journeyWhy This MattersThis episode reframes a critical societal conversation: the belief that college is the only measure of success has left millions of young people underemployed, over-indebted, and disconnected from thriving industries desperate for talent. Terry Iverson's message is both liberating and urgent—for parents worried they've "failed" their child, for young people unsure if the traditional path is right for them, and for an industry racing to fill positions with purpose-driven professionals.Guest LI profile link:www.linkedin.com/in/terry-iverson-278b259linkedin.com/company/championnow-orgWebsite:www.championnow.org FB:facebook.com/championnoworgConnect with the host on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/naveensamala/Also, Tune into our Telugu & Kannada podcasts here:https://www.youtube.com/c/TGVTeluguhttps://www.youtube.com/c/TGVKannadaSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1GvX6tvmfelawEba0F6KS4http://surl.li/tmksx (#tgvtelugu)TGV Inspiring Lives Volume 1 & 2 are on AmazonPaperback:https://amzn.eu/d/4Y1HAXjVolume 2:Notion Press: http://surl.li/tmkryUse the Coupon:  NAVEEN20 on notionpress.com to avail a 20% discountFOLLOW ON X:@guidingvoice@naveensamala
