As employer needs continue to evolve in today’s workforce, higher ed leaders are under pressure to prove the value of a degree and better prepare students for career success. Moreover, the traditional transcripts they supply to students only tell part of the story to these employers, often leaving out the skills, experiences, and competencies they are actively seeking.

In this webinar, hear how Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) is enhancing career readiness through experiential learning and the development of a Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR). CCSU’s Associate Vice President will share how her university engaged community stakeholders and designed a system that supports learner mobility and workforce relevance to capture the full scope of student achievement.

Attendees who join the live event will be able to participate in a ThoughtExchange workshop to share and rank the best practices from their peers on experiential learning.*

Key Takeaways 

  • “Learning by Doing”: How CCSU drives excellence in experiential learning
  • Beyond a Transcript: How academic, experiential, and co-curricular experiences can be reflected on a Comprehensive Learner Record
  • Securing Buy-in: How CCSU partnered with community stakeholders to advance learner mobility and align with workforce needs
  • Workforce Relevance: Understand the value of creating robust experiences outside of the classroom that demonstrate career readiness
  • *Live 5-minute Workshop: Audience participation will generate reports showing the common ground and differences among higher ed leaders, the summary of highest and lowest rated best practices, the top themes ordered by relevance, potential next steps and a SWOT analysis.
