Dear John, In today's modern digital economy, both graduates and employers have expanded their degree expectations. While soft skills are still the foundation of any degree, students are expected to have advanced analytical and technical skills. And while institutions have long touted their ability to graduate digitally-proficient students, the expectations are higher. Employers expect new hires to not only understand digital platforms, but to use them to make data-driven, business-savvy decisions. 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 to explore the forces driving change and the challenges ahead. You'll learn how to restructure academic programs to innovate from within, ways to collaborate with employers, and how to alleviate some of the barriers graduates face when starting their careers. Purchase the report and gain insight into: Building effective relationships between employers and collegesAdapting to emerging trends in hiring and credentialsStructuring academic programs to foster employabilityEvaluating and navigating innovative partnership opportunitiesThis report provides you with the skills and knowledge you need to better prepare your students to start or advance their careers.
