An Educator's Journey to Workforce Development: Meet Sharard Walker

This week, we are joined by another native Floridan, Sharard Walker.

He also went on to earn a Masters of Science in Public Administration and an Education Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University.

Today, he has more than twelve years experience in the educational and professional management field and current serves as a Director of Training and Education at the Opportunity Industrialization Center in South Florida, also known as OIC-SFL.

In this episode, Sharard shares:

  • His journey from initially wanting to be a dentist to becoming a lifelong educator

  • Why it's important to pursue a career for the right reasons

  • How real learning extends beyond earning degrees

  • The many training and job placement opportunities available to youth and adults in the South Florida area (and beyond) through OIC of America and OIC-Ghana
