Free NISOD Webinar

The Skills and Competencies Needed to Transform Higher Education for the Future of Work and Learning

Thursday, Dec. 7, 1-2 p.m.
Register for NISOD webinar*

It is estimated that 85% of all jobs that will exist in 2030 have yet to be invented. Couple this with a recent survey that states nearly 50% of millennials do not believe college is worth it. For those who do enroll, nearly half drop out within their first year of studies and only 10 to 12 percent of students of color will persist to graduation. At the onset of the fourth industrial revolution, how can community college leaders redesign their services to help students find their personalized pathway, create a sense of belonging and build equitable bridges to social and economic mobility? Participants learn new transformative strategies they might consider for their own institution based upon work conducted at Tallahassee Community College through the Culture of CARE initiative.

*You will need to have a NISOD account to register for the webinar. If you do not have a NISOD account, you may create one here using your LLCC email address.
