One adage we hear constantly in the marketplace is that students don’t have the competencies to be successful in today’s job market. Hundreds of pieces have been written about the “skills gap” that employers claim exists between college and career.
But do students really not have the skills? Or do learners simply need help in connecting the classroom theory into practical usage?
On Tuesday, October 10th, three educational leaders joined our panel Scaling Experiential Learning for Underserved Students. This discussion on experiential learning (EL) covered why these opportunities are so vital to connecting the classroom and career. Dedicated to fostering EL opportunities and ensuring learners are set up for success, our speakers discussed scaling these opportunities to EVERY student and filling identified gaps in EL participation.
Watch the recording of this presentation to learn:
- Why experiential learning (EL) is so vital to preparing students for life after college
- How to think about EL and create meaningful opportunities
