Labor & Economics: Charting a Course Through Work and Opportunity

Join the Georgia Council on Economic Education for a special teacher webinar featuring Captain Nick Wright, LNG Marine Operations Manager with Crowley Petroleum Services. Captain Wright will share his personal and professional journey as the son of immigrants, a self-described less-than-perfect student, a worker of many jobs, a maritime professional who built his career through 20 plus years of hands-on vessel operations, serving ports and waterways across the United States.

Through his story, teachers will hear powerful real-world connections to labor, human capital, career pathways, perseverance, specialization, and the value of skills developed over time. Captain Wright’s journey offers educators a meaningful way to help students see that career paths are not always straight lines, and that work, learning, and opportunity often build on one another in unexpected ways.

This will be an online Zoom meeting. 

Audience: Teachers, Grades K-12
