Focusing on skills and aligning learning models between #employers and #HigherEd opens doors for next-gen talent. Really loved this conversation between @GinniRometty and @drvickip, as they explored how #EmployerPartners can create a system that works for everyone.

Expanding access to paid internships is crucial -- and it begins with #HigherEd. Great insights here from @jselingo and @StephenMoret on how universities can create a better #ROI and prepare students for the realities of the modern #workforce.

Expanding access to paid internships will help colleges improve employment outcomes & enable employers to better meet their talent needs. @SCHEVnews @VAChamber @jselingo @MarthaHRoss @OrrellAEI @JosephBFuller @mikeitzkowitz @WorkingNation @SHEEOed @riipen fastcompany.com/91006729/why-p…

With an average student age of 37 and a majority female population, at @StrayerU we know that #OlderWomen are a core part of today's #workforce. Love seeing this report from @amprog discussing how employers can do more to tackle the unique challenges they face. #WomenAtWork
WorkingNation@WorkingNation

#OlderWomen face even more difficulty in the modern workforce than #OlderWorkers in general. A report from @amprog has some suggestions on what policymakers can do to better support them. @RamonaWritesLA reports: bit.ly/3u2rj4M

Loved this episode of @D2L’s #TheSkillShift and hearing @CRAguh share the value of #SkillsBasedHiring. In 2024, we need practical, skills-based #talent assessment to break down barriers and maximize #workforce potential. @MalikaAsthana

Each January we celebrate #NationalMentoringMonth, and at @StrayerU, #mentorship takes many forms. I'm grateful to have been mentored by many and my advice to our Strayer community is: Lean on the mentors in your life. They're here to help you succeed.

From my family to yours, I'm wishing everyone a #HappyHolidays! This time of year reminds us of the simple joys in life - for me, that's my boys, food, and football. However you're celebrating, I wish you a season filled with love, rest and laughter. Here's to 2024!

Great insights from @jayseaklein. #PriorLearning can help learners transform #career experiences into college credits and boost degree completion. Getting students through the door is only half the problem, and #HigherEd must do more to get them to the #graduation stage.
Jillian Klein@jayseaklein

Great insight by @CCAPrezYolanda on how to think about ensuring students aren't wasting time/money/effort towards a degree. "Embracing approaches like prior learning assessment can ensure students are moving more efficiently through a degree program." bit.ly/3uMubmu

Learning how to work with AI is critical for future generations. I'm proud of our @StrayerU staff, who volunteered at the no-cost @MarkCubanAi #AI Bootcamp. The 4-day bootcamp was geared toward underserved high schoolers & gave a hands-on journey into AI concepts. @StrategicEdu
