If you are just beginning to integrate workforce-aligned learning across the curriculum institution-wide, then this webcast is for you. This includes academic leaders and professionals from employer relations, experiential learning, and career services.

Institutions who have already been pursuing this but want to ensure they’re hitting the major points at the community, administrative, and individual classroom levels may also benefit from the content of this training.

During this webcast our expert instructor will discuss workforce alignment on the following levels:

In the community:

1. Interview prospective employers about the challenges they face and how they solve them vis-a-vis virtual advisory committees
2. Build closer ties with recent graduates and alumni to help gather information on employer-workforce needs

At the administrative level:

1. Align your efforts with the issues that administrators, faculty, staff, and students care most about
2. Emphasize employer outreach efforts as a part of performance plans, reviews, and promotion decisions

In the classroom:

1. Oversee the completion of projects and portfolios that can demonstrate competency to employers instead of grades
2. Require structured internships that meet institutional goals, offer opportunities for mentorship, and provide fair credit or compensation
