Description
Innovative Strategies & Emerging Practices to Positively Impact Enrollment, Success & Workforce Readiness
Current research indicates that adult learners make up close to 40% of college students throughout the country. Research also indicates that colleges who are adopting new industry certification programs and working with employers to identify emerging needs are seeing increases in enrollment of adult learners. Find new ways to grow and reach individuals who were not traditionally a focus for college recruitment or retention in the past as the world of higher education continues to shift.
Our presenter will explore ways your institution can reinvent itself and grow, so you can position your programs to become major players in workforce reskilling. Shift the focus now to work with employers to identify current and emerging needs so you can attract larger portions of the millions of adults learners back on campuses to earn their degree.
