We’ve just released our 10-year anniversary report! This is an exciting account of #GradsofLife’s progress toward our vision of an America where every person has access to economic opportunity and mobility. See it here: https://t.co/AB5qjOGgn8
@delislealleges@stradaeducation@Burning_Glass Sort of. We say they’re associated with higher rates of employment in bachelor’s degree-level jobs, not whether or not they’re financially worthwhile. In many cases, we find that master’s degrees have high rates of underemployment (i.e. in sub-BA jobs).
A must-read and -view! Thank you @stradaeducation for featuring Texas Credentials for the Future and instances of campus implementations at @UTArlington, @UTAustin and @UTSA. It goes to show what partnerships such as ours can do for students and learners. https://t.co/3R4oY611Eq

A smart use-case for #microcredentials in Texas, supported by @stradaeducation.
Alone, microcredentials can be risky and often don't pay off.
But when embedded within degrees, they can support skill attainment and augment degree education.

In Talent Disrupted, our latest report with @TheBGInstitute, we share what educators and policymakers can do to help reduce #underemployment. https://t.co/iuRDfBA0R5
🧵
"We call the report Talent Disrupted because #underemployment disrupts the professional career paths that so many college students aspire to.”
Hear more from our CEO, @StephenMoret, about the recent release of our new report in partnership with the @TheBGInstitute.
Excited to have our report, "Ensuring a Living Wage Through Higher Ed," featured in today's @nytimes.
While the majority of colleges exceed minimum economic benchmarks for their students, more than 1,000 show most students earning less than a HS grad.

1/ I strongly recommend reading this paper by @OrrellAEI and David Veldran at @AEI, "The Age of Uncertainty—and Opportunity: Work in the Age of AI" https://t.co/6NguxWrm1F
Excellent report from @GeorgetownCEW on availability of good jobs in rural communities. Lots to unpack & well worth a read. Bottom line for me: We need to invest more in job-generating sectors, including clean energy & healthcare. #wkdev@NewAmericaEd https://t.co/dtunHMHmPy
Really interesting paper - I especially found this chart interesting. In the last 8 years there's been big shifts in what skills people *think* people are going to need.
"Uncertainty is our only certainty when it comes to AI and the future of work."
About half of bachelor’s degree graduates are employed in a job that doesn’t require a bachelor’s degree a year after graduation, and many are still underemployed ten years out. 🎓
For most people, a college education is viewed as a reliable pathway to opportunity. However, college is not a guarantee of labor market success. And today in partnership with @BrningGlsInst we released Talent Disrupted: College Graduates, Underemployment, and the Way Forward.
"...policymakers and university leaders can also reduce risks of underemployment if they embrace four policies recommended in Talent Disrupted."
