418 The pega6 Blueprint Universities Can’t Copy - pega6 Series Episode 3
from Disrupt Education Podcast · host Disrupt Education Podcast
In Episode 3, Peter and Alli stop talking about what’s broken and start building the alternative in real time — the pega6 model. Jeremy Smith takes everyone into the “why now” moment: he’s been sitting on this idea for 15 years, watching college get more expensive and less useful, until the market finally hit a tipping point. Parents, students, and employers aren’t just annoyed anymore… they’re done.Then the episode gets tactical. Jeremy explains why universities can’t pivot into a one-year, career-focused, experiential model (even if they wanted to), because their incentives, culture, and infrastructure literally won’t allow it. That opens the door for a new category of higher ed — not “college,” not bootcamps, not apprenticeships — but a white-collar trade school built for the AI age.Big takeaway: Pega 6 is about graduating students as “Pegasus” — AI-first entry-plus employees with real technical skills, real soft skills, and the ability to deliver on day one… while being four years and ~$300K ahead of the traditional path.If you came this far... head to www.pega6.com/dep You won't be disappointed!
