When I present to 3 Enrollment Marketing, Inc. partner institutions, I tell them they could use LinkedIn's document posts to post their viewbook or a brochure that explains why people should attend. It isn't a cool platform, and most people want to be where the kids are. But this platform is where the high school admins are, and this can be a useful tool for telling the story of a school. Check out this post below to see how LinkedIn elegantly posts a PDF. This isn't cutting-edge. But it can matter.

Some employers offer assistance & resources for higher education. BUT, how many employers offer free GED & ESL resources, especially onsite for employees?

Coming from a position supporting primarily degree-granting programs, I appreciated learning more about the mission and landscape of professional and continuing education: how PCO units are positioned within institutions, the types of programs that they mount and the audiences that they serve, and the challenges and joys of working in the professional and continuing ed space.

2023 for me was a year of personal growth and professional development. The highlight of the year were courses in Strategic Decisions and Risk Management through UT’s Texas Executive Education program. Looking forward, I’m excited about continuing my learning and improvement journey in 2024 by focusing on building awareness and applying the processes and behaviors that promote improved decision making both at work and at home to ensure Decision Quality. What will you be learning about in 2024 to continue your personal/professional growth? #DecisionQuality #leadershipdevelopment #MitigatingBiases #strategicdecisionmaking #continuouslearning #criticalthinking

Yesterday in Washington, DC, CAAHEP President Donald Balasa, JD, MBA, delivered an enlightening session on "Beyond Gainful Employment: Other Title IV Rule Revisions that Impact Quality and Eligibility" at the prestigious CHEA/CIQG Annual Conference. The landscape of higher education and the implications of Title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA) are evolving, and Balasa's talk shed light on crucial changes every professional program must be aware of. Key takeaways include: -Ensuring graduates are eligible for mandatory state licensing/certification exams. -Avoiding the inclusion of courses that are unnecessary for meeting state licensing/certification requirements. For students to benefit from Title IV assistance, these stipulations underscore the dual necessity for compliance and quality in the curriculum of our professional programs. This conversation is vital for maintaining the integrity of our educational frameworks. Join the dialogue and share your perspectives on how these revisions may shape the future of professional education!
