T.E.A. with College Futures featuring Maria Anguiano

Welcome to T.E.A. with College Futures, where we bring together the voices of partners to elevate the practice of equity in action. In each feature, you’ll see how leaders are working to redefine postsecondary value, champion learner-centered solutions, and reimagine systems so that every underserved Californian can achieve greater economic mobility.

In this episode of Talking Equity in Action, Elizabeth González sat down with Jeff Manassero, CEO of Rivet School (Rivet), to explore how redesigning learner support can transform the postsecondary experience for working adults. They discuss Rivet’s partnership with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) and its collaboration with employers to create career pathways that fit learners’ lives rather than interrupt them. As the connecting link between learners, SNHU, and employers, Rivet provides personalized, data-informed support and proactive coaching that helps working adults navigate college, complete their degrees, and advance their careers.
