Ep. 15 - Ken Coates

On Episode 15 I am Joined by Canada Research Chair in Regional Innovation/Author/Professor/Speaker/Canadian Historian and just an outstanding Human Being, Ken Coates. Ken was raised in Whitehorse, Yukon, and has long-standing professional and personal interests in Aboriginal rights, northern development, northern Canadian history, science, technology and society, and Japan Studies. I cannot express how amazing it was to have Ken on the show, it truly was a dynamic conversation taking you deeper into one of the authors of "Dream Factories" and conversations around the skilled trades and the future of work. I stand by "Dream Factories" as a must read by those thinking about what to do after Highschool and for the educators, parents and influencers who weigh in on these decisions, hopefully this podcast will get you to pick up this Book by Ken and also take a look at some of his other books, like "What to consider if you're considering University: New Rules for Education and Employment" & "Campus Confidental:100 Startling Things you need to know about Canadian Universities" find out more about Ken at www.kencoates.ca
