  • Summary

  • On this episode, contributor Steph Machado reports on the changing path of education. Today, working toward a career in boat building, fire-fighting and the science of raising plants and animals in water can start in high school where technical training courses have exploded. The uptick has both students and educators here in Rhode Island seeing the future of work in a very different light. Then, photojournalist Michael Jones introduces us to master scrimshaw artist Brian Kiracofe who gives us his take on scrimshaw art and why it endures. Finally, on this episode of Weekly Insight, Michelle San Miguel and WPRI 12’s politics editor Ted Nesi discuss what a recent poll reveals about how well elected officials in Rhode Island are doing their jobs, and why the majority of Rhode Islanders disapprove of how Governor McKee is doing his.
