At a time when many students are not sure college is the best option, trade schools offer an alternative path to top careers. And, in a world where services are increasingly automated and things made disposable, there is a renewed appreciation for artisan and handmade goods. All of this is great news for Boston’s North Bennet Street School, which has been offering crafts and trades training to students for almost 140 years. The school is now entering its latest era under the leadership of a new president.

Guests:

Miguel Gomez Ibanez - Former architect, furniture maker and outgoing president of the North Bennet Street School. He oversaw the school from 2006 until December of 2018.

Sarah Turner - President of the North Bennet Street School. Her tenure began in December, 2018. Previously Sarah worked with a number of institutions including the Rhode Island School of Design and the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan.
