We’re excited to partner with Complete College America (CCA) and Riipen to launch the CCA AI Readiness Consortium. This initiative aims to help community colleges prepare students for the future workforce by integrating essential AI skills and real-world experiences into their programs. CCA brings expertise in increasing college completion rates and closing performance gaps, while Riipen excels in connecting learners with real-world projects to build skills and professional networks. We look forward to advancing our mission through this project by bridging gaps in work-based learning and improving student outcomes.
📢 We are thrilled to announce the launch of the CCA AI Readiness Consortium, a groundbreaking initiative powered by Riipen, designed to empower U.S. community colleges in preparing students for the evolving demands of the workforce. In partnership with Complete College America and funded by Axim Collaborative, this initiative will create hands-on, experiential learning opportunities that focus on developing essential AI skills. 💡 Through real-world projects and immersive experiences, this consortium aims to bridge the gap between education and employment by embedding artificial intelligence education into academic programs, ensuring that students are not just ready to enter the workforce but are equipped with the skills needed to excel in the age of AI. 🌟 Community colleges across the U.S. are invited to apply until September 30.

We’re honored to partner with such a powerful community on this milestone moment, paving the way for the future of HBCUs in the digital age.
LinkedIn Community! We are proud to announce that we’ve reached a key milestone in our quest to partner with HBCUS to reimagine Black colleges for the virtual age. Read more about HBCUv below! “In a landmark event that promises to redefine the future of higher education, UNCF (United Negro College Fund) and six historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) signed a historic consortium agreement, ushering in the first official partnerships on HBCUv®. The digital learning and community engagement platform—designed by HBCUs, for HBCUs—was unveiled during UNITE 2024: UNCF Summit for Black Higher Education, marking a transformative moment for champions of Black higher education. Presidents and senior leaders from Benedict College, Clark Atlanta University, Jarvis Christian University, Lane College, Shaw University, Talladega College and UNCF took the stage to celebrate this monumental achievement. These institutions, along with Claflin University, Dillard University, and Johnson C. Smith University - JCSU embarked on a multi-year journey to harness digital technologies that would amplify the enduring legacy and impact of HBCUs. This visionary project began with over 3,000 hours of exhaustive research involving students, faculty and staff to uncover the key drivers of HBCU student success. The insights from this user experience research shaped the development of the platform, which is designed to mirror the authentic, culturally affirming, and supportive environments found on HBCU campuses. William Chetlin, an HBCUv student champion from Jarvis Christian University, captured the essence of the new technology: “When I first saw HBCUv, I was instantly captivated. Most technologies I have used in school don’t resonate with my lived experience as an HBCU student. But the moment I signed in and saw ‘The Yard,’ I was like, Wow! This feels like an HBCU!” #hbcus #blackcolleges #highereducation #studentsuccess #belonging #communityadvancement #onlinelearning #forusbyus #theyard #mypath #coursecatalog #hbcuv https://lnkd.in/eXSJuND8

Our VP of Technology Innovation is going to SxSW EDU next year. Please reach out if you want to connect in person and consider voting for his panels.
Now that you've reset the password for your old SxSW panel picker account, why not put it to good use? It's that time of year again, where everyone and their neighbor is asking for your SxSW EDU upvotes. I had a look at the proposals for next year and the sessions look amazing. You could literally spin the wheel and vote for almost anything and it'll be good. But if you don't want to spin the wheel, and are interested in increasing student success by building stronger social connections, or learn how community colleges are using AI to increase upward mobility, then have a look at these two sessions (and consider sending a thumbs up): https://lnkd.in/eESfipFF https://lnkd.in/ehMXebBZ Meacie Fairfax, Calbright College, Julian Thompson, James Glapa-Grossklag, Nathalie Gazzaneo, Lindsay Kuhn

‘The Evolution of Hiring: What Managers Know About, Think About And Are Doing With Microcredentials’, a new report from Northeastern University Center for the Future of Higher Education and Talent Strategy, explores how hiring managers perceive and utilize microcredentials. “Recent research found that 45% of firms removing degree requirements from job postings showed no significant difference in the share of non-baccalaureate hires, while 20% showed a decrease in hires without degrees. This suggests a need to explore employer behavior more closely to understand where the use of microcredentials in hiring is working and where it is meeting resistance.” Key Highlights: 📌 Managers report that the applicant pool now includes more under qualified candidates, making it challenging to find high quality hires. Microcredentials could provide valuable information to better match candidates to roles. 📌 Many hiring managers value microcredentials as indicators of ambition and learning mindset rather than specific skill competence. 📌 Personal experience with microcredentials among managers significantly influences their hiring decisions.
