Education IS economic development! Cheers to the NC Commerce LEAD team on this study, which yielded a body of data that supports what our NC Portrait team already knows - integrating durable skills (often called "soft" skills) into classrooms will better prepare students for their futures.

This Forbes piece by Derek Newton covers a recent national survey of employers on the value of college. There's a lot to digest here, but most interesting to me is the news that employers prefer a college degree plus badges or micro-credentials much more than micro-credential alone or degree alone. That's exactly what we're doing at Florida Gulf Coast University by approaching badges as a supplement to our degrees - the power of "and." Not only that, but the survey shows employers value micro-credentials in both technical job specific skills like software applications and broad transferable skills like critical thinking - again, exactly the way we're doing badges at FGCU. The whole report is worth a read, but this article does a nice job extracting the highlights. Check it out! https://lnkd.in/eJ--w7bf

Chief Executive Officer | Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion | Change Management | Operational Excellence through Continuous Improvement | Team Engagement & Development
https://lnkd.in/gtXbBqqD 🤔 Concerns About the Elimination of College Degree Requirement for Government Jobs The recent executive order by Minnesota Gov. Walz eliminating the college degree requirement for government jobs has sparked both optimism and concerns. While inclusivity and diversity are important, it's crucial to ensure that this change leads to the desired outcome. 📚 Education equips individuals with essential skills, knowledge, and critical thinking. The concern is whether the removal of this requirement might lead to a potential skills gap or challenges in evaluating candidates' qualifications. 💼 It's vital that we have robust systems in place to assess candidates' competencies and capabilities effectively. Let's work together to ensure that this transition promotes inclusivity without compromising the quality of our government workforce. 🤝 Your thoughts on this matter are important; let's engage in a constructive dialogue about how to achieve the best results. #GovernmentJobs #Education #Inclusivity #Concerns #Workforce #QualityMatters

The presidential turnover crisis in higher education has seen university presidents’ tenures steadily diminishing for nearly two decades. Although there are many reasons why this is happening, colleges and universities can take certain preventative actions to ensure their presidents remain on campus for at least 10 years. This includes: ✓ Improving the interview process ✓ Understanding why it's difficult to hire candidates without presidential experience ✓ Changing the roles of search committees ✓ Removing certain influences during the search process Learn how higher ed institutions can improve the onboarding process and also what incoming presidents can do to ensure a more successful tenure by reading our blog "Presidential Turnover Crisis in Higher Ed–Solutions and Challenges: The Role of Politics, Policies, Processes, Performance, and Public Relations." 👉 bit.ly/tcl-92123 #PresidentTurnover #PresidentTenure #HigherEducation

I wonder how this is succeeding? Having worked in higher education for 15 years and business and government for much longer, I think a big reason a great many jobs require college degrees is because many (if not most) secondary school systems in 21st Century America [generally] fail to produce coherent high school graduates that can think, read, write and do basic math at levels expected. One way employers help to ensure they hire those who can actually function at 12th grade levels...is to see college degrees or at least significant college work done by applicants. The first two years of general studies in college today have become (costly) coverage for what students failed to learn in public schools. Not always, but far too much. Governor Youngkin is rolling the dice, but he's right to do so. Much pressure should be redirected into ensuring that our elementary through secondary school systems actually teach and graduate students who can then contribute to the success of America's workplace.
