About this listen

Utah is building an innovative pipeline that could turn high school into a pathway to public safety careers. Rep. Matthew Gwynn is joined by Weber State University President Brad Mortensen and Utah Department of Corrections Executive Director Jared Garcia to discuss a new program that will let students earn concurrent enrollment credit, complete their Special Functions Officer certification, and step into a living-wage job in corrections – all for just $45.

The conversation covers how the idea came about, the partnerships making it possible, and why creating early career pathways matters for both students and public safety.
