NCF-122 High School Pioneers Special Cyber-Security Program

On today’s show, host Dr. Shawn Murray sits down with Dr. Bob Gemingnani, the work-based learning program manager at Colorado Springs School District 49. Bob breaks down his career path leading to where he is now at the school, taking us back to his non-profit days helping young people between 16-24 that were either homeless, dropped out of high school, or had other disadvantages when it comes to finding a job. In July of 2017, Bob took over a similar program at District 49 and made it his own. Over time, the community really saw the benefits in his work-based program model and came together with other districts around the area to create a similar model, helping students find work. Because of his hard work and passion for the job, he will soon be taking over an even larger role as the Executive Director at the Pikes Peak Business Education Alliance. Listen as Bob breaks down the model he personally constructed in order to help the K-12 Colorado Springs youth and young adult community by attracting, informing, educating, and hiring them into positions. He also speaks on an internship opportunity that this program brings.
