Hosted by public historian Fred Dews, The Brookings Cafeteria is a podcast "about ideas and the experts who have them." This recent episode of the Brookings Cafeteria, released on August 4, 2017, may especially be of interest to those who work in community colleges or are involved in educational policy. Dews talks to Elizabeth Mann, a fellow in the Brown Center on Education Policy, about her work connecting community colleges with employers. This thirty-minute conversation is accompanied by a number of related resources from the Brookings Institute, including a toolkit Mann developed to help build successful community college-employer relations. In addition, visitors will find a number of resources from other educational research groups, including the Community College Research Center (CCRC) at Columbia University's Teacher's College and the National Center for Education and Statistics.
