019: Tom Cheney Creates “Working” Relationships through Advance Vermont
In this episode of View from the Top, listeners will meet Tom Cheney, Executive Director of Advance Vermont-MyFutureVT, an organization strategically tied to an initiative designed to connect Vermont students of all ages to employers, educational institutions, foundations, and government entities that facilitate access and enrollment in post-secondary opportunities.
Tom’s track record of successfully connecting policy to practice comes from a career that started when as a young graduate from the University of Vermont he became the Chief of Staff for Vermont’s Speaker of the House which in a few short years led to him taking on the role of legislative assistant for Vermont Congressman and now U.S. Senator Peter Welch. Returning to Vermont as a senior official in the Shumlin administration provided Tom with a chance to put his education in political science, a family history of dedicated educators, and his love for community involvement together to build a conduit for education and workforce development.
Spend some time learning about the good things that have happened since this soft-spoken Justice of the Peace married two partners who shared the same mission—educating Vermonters for a happy life and a rewarding career.
Recorded at The Hub CoWorks Podcast Studio, this show is presented by Bill Lucci, Program Director for The Hub CoWorks, and VTTSG Podcast Productions. The music used in this project is "Dirt Track" by Scott Holmes, which is available on the Free Music Archive.
