Monica Gray Logothetis is a Batten Alumna, and recently served as a Fellow in Residence at the Center for Social Innovation. She recently delivered a TEDx talk discussing her research and an innovative proposal to address recidivism and the lack of economic and social opportunity for formerly incarcerated people in the United States.
In a compelling talk that builds upon lessons learned from having launched the successful edtech nonprofit DreamWakers, Monica shares a novel new idea called Jail to Jobs — a policy proposal to spur national criminal justice reform by helping to get those behind bars back to work by leveraging the Career Technical Education (CTE) job training infrastructure already in place across the country at our community colleges. Monica Gray Logothetis is an education entrepreneur with a passion for harnessing everyday technologies to find scalable solutions to close career opportunity gaps in America. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
