Career-Ready Education Beyond the Skills Gap, Tools and Tactics for an Evolving Economy

This Chronicle report goes beyond the definitions of the skills gap and the accompanying blame game to explore the forces driving change and the challenges ahead. The goal isn’t to turn every institution of higher education into a job-training center, but there’s no shame in adding relevance. College leaders can prepare career-ready graduates — in both liberal-arts and more-specialized programs — without dismantling their educational models or compromising their principles. Note: there is a fee to access this report.
