À propos de cet audio
In this episode of The Art of Existence, host Alexander Wolf reconnects with Thomas Forbes — five years after their first conversation — to explore an ambitious and necessary reimagining of skilled trades education. Thomas shares his decades-long vision for a new, industry-integrated vocational university where students are paid to learn, trained directly on job sites, and fast-tracked to journeyman status in under three years.
We dive into:
The problems with traditional college and trade programs
Why many graduates feel underprepared and overcharged
Thomas’s proposed hands-on, earn-as-you-learn model
The role of industry partnerships in shaping the future of education
What’s needed to launch this revolutionary approach
Whether you're a parent, student, educator, or employer, this conversation challenges the norms and asks: What if we built a better way to learn by building itself?
