Alternative Credentials and CBE Programs: Answering the Call for Skills-Based Learning

Greetings,

I would like to invite you to our upcoming free UB web seminar on Wednesday, September 28 at 2:00 ET, entitled Alternative Credentials and CBE Programs: Answering the Call for Skills-Based Learning.

Many colleges and universities are responding to the increasing demand for skills-based learning by offering alternative credentials and competency-based education (CBE) programs. These programs help learners gain the skills employers seek; help employers re-skill their workforces; and help higher education institutions reach new learners, increase enrollment, and strengthen community partnerships. While some institutions have long-established programs, others are just beginning to consider how they might better support the needs of learners and employers.

During the webinar, our panel of higher education professionals from Chatfield College and Bay de Noc Community College will share institutional strategies and best practices for implementing successful alternative credentials and CBE programs. These will be methods that any higher ed institution can repeat.

Takeaways:

Hear creative ways institutions are responding to student demand for skills-based education
Learn how institutions are working with local employers to create impactful alternative credentials and CBE programs.
Discover best practices for creating alternative credentials and CBE programs, as well as steps that any college or university can emulate, regardless of the technology they possess.

We’re looking forward to an interesting discussion, plus live Q&A.

Even if you aren't able to attend the live event, feel free to register and you will receive access to the presentation and the event recording.

Hope to see you there!
