Welcome to the debut of STEM-Ability, a brand-new series from The Odyssey of Care. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. John Fife, Director of the Center for Innovation in STEM Education at Virginia Commonwealth University, to explore a new and ambitious five-year initiative. As the workforce shifts rapidly in the age of AI, how do we ensure students with disabilities aren't just included, but empowered to thrive? Dr. Fife and host Erin Croyle discuss the intersection of innovation, vocational rehabilitation, and the vital role that lived experience plays in shaping systemic change. Whether you are a parent, educator, or student, join us as we explore how this groundbreaking project is turning evidence-based research into real-world opportunity. What you'll learn: How to prepare for the "moving target" of the future job market. The essential role of vocational rehabilitation in the modern STEM and education/workforace landscape as a whole. Why your voice matters—and how you can help shape this research in real-time.
