Frank Biden: Convincing the youth that education is still relevant

For Frank Biden, ensuring that the youth have access to quality education is still one of the most important tasks of the generations that came before them. This is because education is still the great equalizer, the factor which allows individuals to find their potential, learn to improve it, and then use it as productive members of society.

Unfortunately, it seems that the attitude of some of the youth toward education differs from Biden’s. Many of them find that access to quality education is now irrelevant to their lives due to a variety of reasons. Surveys done in the past have shown that boredom with the curriculum, outside influences, and lack of educational support have been part of the main reasons why students drop out of school. Frank Biden, as part of Mavericks in education, an institution focused on the design, development, and delivery of innovative educational solutions, is one with many individuals who are striving to reverse this trend.

Over the years, the dropout rates across the United States have been going on a steady decline. However, the fact still remains that there is much that needs to be done to completely reverse the situation. Investments in educational institutions are good for the majority, but other concerns, such as an insufficient education system, must also be given due attention.

No matter what strategy is implemented, the goal is for these youth to realize early on that graduating from high school is important for them to succeed on the challenges that they will face later in their lives.

Frank Biden and Mavericks High of Osceola recently partnered with Nike, Inc. to help provide employment opportunities for its students. The project was initiated when Nike visited the campus and interviewed 30 students, eventually selecting six to take part in the pilot program. The eight-week program paired the students with mentors from Nike who introduced them to the different aspects of the retail business, in addition to different life skills. Four of the six students were offered full-time employment with Nike at the end of the program. Nike has already requested to make visits twice a year and have secured 25-30 positions at five of their different stores throughout Osceola and Orange County for Mavericks’ students.
