WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Duration: 1 hour

Higher education in the U.S. is under fire, with most Americans questioning the investment in a college education. Still, surveys show administrators and faculty are confident in the career-readiness offerings their institutions deliver, and feel they effectively set students up for post-graduate success. After all, the top reason most individuals pursue a college degree is to get a better job and achieve greater financial success.

However, a new report shows employers, alumni and students don’t share that view. In this webinar, experts explore this disconnect, why many institutions are falling behind in career preparation, and what higher education can do differently to set up their students to be successful. Attendees will learn practical and actionable steps to bridge this disconnect, including how to:

• Set goals for career readiness based on feedback from employers and alumni
• Adapt to changing needs with personalized tech tools that reach students anywhere at any time
• Begin with a focus on improving students’ communication skills — a top concern for employers
