In many ways, colleges exist apart from the world of work by design. Yet, to remain relevant — and to keep enrolling students — colleges need to consider the needs of the industries that drive their demand.

In Building Tomorrow's Work Force, The Chronicle writers examine and break down the data on which skills are currently high-demand. Discover how employers' focus has shifted from viewing a college degree as the long-standing basic requirement for job candidates to emphasizing the value of part-time work experience regardless of high grades or an alma mater’s elite reputation, and how that's changing how students' prospects.
