As the job market evolves, work becomes more digital, and employers raise qualifications, it is essential that your institution looks for opportunities to adapt and develop academic programs in order to stay relevant and graduate employable students. 62% of employers have either adopted or are exploring a skills-based hiring strategy that de-emphasizes degrees, according to a recruiting trends report by the Collegiate Employment Research Institute.
The Chronicle's latest report, Career-Ready Education, moves past the definitions of the skills gap and the accompanying blame game. It explores the forces driving change and the challenges ahead, ways to structure academic programs to foster employability, and strategies for building effective relationships with employers. It is essential that your institution is prepared for the rapidly-changing job landscape.
