The event Connecting the Dots was an exciting learning opportunity. In gist, the keynote speaker and panelists discussed that the process of solving problems is not merely reliant on technology, instead, relies on leadership and creativity.  The panel tackled points on:

·       How schools can help students graduate with college-ready and work-ready skills

·       How to help students obtain global competencies

Redondo Mortgage Center Loan Officer Pooyan Fard who is also a Capstone industry partner at Palos Verdes High School explained how the above points are the key in 21^st Century particularly in human capital market. He shared that students can obtain skills but what they really need is leadership and vision. If schools can provide an environment where students can obtain a problem-solving mindset, the rest can easily be learned. He ended with a valuable tip for the attendees: “It is not about the degree, rather, about what students really want to do and enjoy doing.”
