The Barriers Keeping Women Out of Education and Career Advancement — And How Virtual Learning Is Removing Them

For millions of women the barriers to education and career advancement are not about ambition or ability — they are logistical. Geography, caregiving responsibilities, cost, and schedule inflexibility have historically put the programs that could change their trajectory out of reach. Annette Levesque is a virtual education expert and author of eLearning Gold: The Ultimate Guide for Leaders who has spent her career building the case for accessible distance learning as one of the most powerful equity tools available in education today. What she shares with Stacey Chillemi about how removing barriers to virtual learning programs opens doors to career advancement for women who would otherwise never have access, the strategies for building interactive and genuinely engaging virtual learning communities rather than the passive screen-watching most people associate with online education, and where the future of distance education is headed will give you the most practically informed and personally inspiring virtual learning conversation you have encountered. The classroom that could change your life should not require you to physically be in it. This episode makes the case for why — and how. Annette will share valuable insights from her new book, "ELEARNING GOLD - THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR LEADERS: How to Achieve Excellence in Your Distance Education & Training Program."
