President & Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina does not address employer efforts to foster diverse and inclusive workforces or to engage the talents of all qualified workers, regardless of their background. #It #remains #lawful #for #employers #to #implement #diversity, #equity, #inclusion, and #accessibility #programs that seek to ensure workers of all backgrounds are afforded equal opportunity in the workplace."

The Growing Discontent With American Education: A Call for Engagement and Relevance In the vast landscape of American education, a palpable discontent is gaining momentum, akin to a swelling wave.

Rural community colleges consistently look to industry partners to validate labor market data, inform curriculum and competency development, identify or verify credentials of value, and clarify pathways for career advancement. They also look to employers to advise on broader industry and workplace trends. In a new report, National Skills Coalition shares how Columbia Gorge Community College and Lincoln Land Community College strive to meet the expectations of both students and #employers under this approach. https://lnkd.in/eVgPifTr #ruralcollege #industrypartnerships

Jamie Merisotis has it right: when colleges, employers, and communities work together, entire groups of people benefit. One off, transactional partnerships can be a good solution for single programs, but do too little when trying to address complex social challenges like reducing poverty, increasing postsecondary attainment, and improving community vitality. In his piece with Forbes, Jamie talks refers to the Racine, Wisconsin Talent Hub, led by Higher Expectations as one such exemplar. While readers may want to pay attention to *what* Racine is doing to improve college to career transitions, it is far more valuable to pay attention to *how* they go about their work. Every Talent Hub follows their own methodical, intentionally-designed engagement process to design and implement cross-sector work, and Racine is no exception. Excellence is deviance, and Talent Hubs are as deviant as they come. Lumina Foundation Jeff Neubauer DeAnn Possehl https://lnkd.in/gAsSa8vZ
