What a pleasure it was to sit down with WorkingNation's Ramona Schindelheim to discuss how #highereducation can be a powerful force in activating talent and connecting individuals with opportunities that have a lasting impact. It’s not just about earning a degree—it’s about creating an educational experience that continues to deliver value throughout a lifetime. By personalizing learning journeys and aligning curricula with the demands of tomorrow’s workforce, higher ed can empower students to develop the skills and confidence they need to step into meaningful careers. This commitment to aligning education with workforce needs is something Western Governors University is actively pursuing through our new partnership with Social Finance, which I was grateful to discuss with Ramona. This collaboration is a testament to how higher education can be reimagined to deliver lasting value. We’re not just bridging gaps—we’re creating pathways to meaningful careers and a stronger, more resilient workforce. https://lnkd.in/gz8wVZMw

Such an insightful discussion, and I couldn’t agree more Scott Pulsipher! Higher education has the power to truly transform lives by not just imparting knowledge, but by aligning that knowledge with real-world demands. Personalizing learning journeys and focusing on long-term value are key to preparing students for meaningful careers. The partnership between Western Governors University and Social Finance is a brilliant example of how innovative collaborations can drive change and create a stronger workforce for the future. Excited to see the impact this will have!
