If there were ever a time to support, encourage, and fund robust economic mobility efforts in #highered, now is it.

As technology expands in our society, demand for technology skills will continue to grow. My latest blog shows post-secondary institutions how to prepare their students for an evolving labor market by helping them build the skills they need to meet this growing demand.

It is essential that we think about #certifications and #credentials as not only co-existing with formal degrees, but as positively enhancing the marketability and relevance of students. Check out my article below that highlights some recent trends:

Humanities & social sciences are undervalued. These graduates have problem solving skills that are difficult to hire for/train. You can be pro-STEM and pro-Humanities and Social Sciences, recognizing value is not a critique of what is already valued.

#Cybersecurity is a huge growth industry with an equally huge #skillsgap. @Microsoft is partnering with community colleges nationally to help bridge this gap with curriculum, training for educators and financial supports for students.

US News ranking are out today. Remember that they are silly and don’t matter, unless your institution did well, in which case they are an amazing and useful measure of institutional quality!

Public flagship institutions are compensating for declining state appropriations by increasing their total enrollments, largely with more out-of-state students paying higher tuition.

@LizMoran_5 and I recently met with @NACEOrg to discuss how industry and academia can better collaborate to support student career readiness. Check it out:

The #MSBAIM #SAS #Optimization Challenge has started! Two days of intense training from expert trainers. A $1000 challenge problem focused on network optimization and analysis. A great experience before fall classes begin on Monday. #analytics #datascience #ORMS

If you measure the value of college by the proportion of low-income students enrolled and the economic benefit provided, Harvard ranks among the bottom. Popular college rankings in #USNews rarely change YOY, but do they reflect the goal of higher ed?

@vijisathy Have a wonderful semester @vijisathy!

[Lynn Letukas @lletukas]

@vijisathy @UNC @unccollege @DrMrsKellyHogan @abigail_panter @WVUPRESS Fantastic resource for new faculty!

[Lynn Letukas @lletukas]

Love the approach of @UMN and @tulsacc in partnering with Advanced Technology Group to offer no-cost #credentials for students. Guaranteed interviews upon program completion helps align learned skills to labor market demand.
