Join PPI’s New Skills for a New Economy project on Wednesday, March 15th at 1:00 PM ET for a one-hour Zoom webinar on Getting Non-Degree Pathways Right: Expanding Opportunity and Ensuring Quality.
In today’s increasingly intangible and data-driven economy, most jobs require at least some postsecondary education and training, due to automation and technological advancements — demanding different knowledge and skills. To meet these skill needs, many policymakers think we need “college for all,” but most Americans don’t earn degrees, and a bachelor’s or advanced degree, which takes extensive time and resources — shouldn’t be the only paths to good, middle-class jobs.
This webinar will address this challenge and offer bold and innovative approaches to expand non-degree pathways, for young people and adults alike. Speakers will discuss why these opportunities are important, how to ensure they are industry-aligned as well as how to encourage quality outcomes for program participants. Speakers will also elevate best practices and successes of non-degree programs while discussing persisting roadblocks in developing and sustaining these opportunities – highlighting potential policy solutions to mitigate these challenges.
Panelists discussing this riveting topic include:
Moderator: Taylor Maag, Director of Workforce Development at PPI
