Putting Students on the Path to Good Jobs
For most students who enroll in postsecondary education, landing a good job is a top goal. But many colleges and employers remain disconnected from each other, leaving gaps between what students learn and the skills employers seek. This session will explore the partnerships needed to bridge that divide, with a focus on workforce education. Hear from experts about colleges and employers already working together, from sharing data and feedback to shape course offerings to creating hands-on learning opportunities. Attendees will learn what’s needed to support students and drive economic mobility.
