The world of work is rapidly changing. Over the past decade, the average U.S. job has seen 30 percent of its skills change — and colleges are charged with rapidly evolving their teachings to prepare students for the workforce. No longer able to rely on graduation rates, institutions must demonstrate that graduates are finding jobs in their chosen fields with the skills they learned at the institution. If they don't, enrollments will fall, public skepticism about higher education will grow, and lawmakers will take note.
What do colleges need to do to make sure their graduates can successfully make the transition from classroom to career?
