Universities need to be nimble in curriculum and think much more holistically about preparation for work. #highered#finishcollege https://t.co/QRjbjyAaCj
And as alternatives to #college go, apprenticeships are appealing because they generally lock-in #jobs upon completion and, instead of students paying to learn, apprenticeships usually pay as well as cover the cost of part-time schooling. #highered https://t.co/ZZ5rC0Zr13

On many #campuses, teaching introductory courses typically falls to less-experienced instructors. A growing body of evidence suggests that this tension could have negative consequences for #students. #highered#edchat https://t.co/wOhsGJTWnY
Forming strong partnerships between postsecondary institutions, K-12 schools and #employers, and reimagining the credentialing environment to allow for more diversity, is critical to shrinking the talent gap & driving economic growth. #highered#edchat https://t.co/7Fpq9nvgCY
When adult ed says “no excuses” it means removing the barriers that might prevent an #adultlearner from finishing their #education such as a need for child care or a need to work. #finishcollege#edchat#highered https://t.co/FpNm9s9Gl4
