E04 | "Start With Passion" - Dario Guescini

On location from beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia, we chat with Dario Guescini, Director of Work-Integrated Learning & Experiential Education at George Brown College and President of Experiential and Work Integrated Learning Ontario (EWO).  Guided by passion and values, we learn through his story what brought him to Canada, through his own personal work-integrated learning opportunities to his transition from industry to post-secondary education, to supporting students into the workforce. Join us as we reflect on personal paths, industry influence, and combating control. From discussing ways to bridge the gap from WIL and academia to employers, to evaluating how well we are really doing as an industry bringing post-secondary students in for quality, meaningful work-integrated learning experiences, we explore where we fall short and how we can do better, and why welcoming international talent is so important. Tune in and find out why Dario has no reservation.
