In recent years, several employers have drawn attention for investing in the education of their lower-wage employees. Traditionally, low-income groups enroll in higher education at lower rates, but there is an abundance of opportunity with this untapped population; a college degree is one of the strongest avenues to greater social and economic mobility. All sectors of higher education need to consider how they can better lift students’ prospects over the course of their working lives.
The Chronicle's latest report, "Career-Ready Education: Beyond the Skills Gap, Tools and Tactics for an Evolving Economy," moves past the definitions of the skills gap and the accompanying blame game. It explores the forces driving change and the challenges ahead, ways to structure academic programs to foster employability, and strategies for building effective relationships with employers.
