Seventy-percent of 2009 college graduates did not have a job upon graduation and eighty-percent moved back home with their parents. Many returned with significant student loan debt and limited prospects for repayment. And yet there are currently an estimated 3 million job openings in occupations requiring advanced technical skills. In today's economy, it is becoming increasingly clear that it's that you student but what you student that is the key to employability and earnings potential. From a policy perspective, colleges are rewarded for enrollment numbers and there is increasing attention on graduation rates, yet very little if any attention is paid to student placement and earnings. Considering the massive investment required for higher education, aren't these valuable measures as well? In this session, Michael Bettersworth makes the case why degrees increasingly matter less, competencies are the real currency, and student success is about much more than enrollment numbers or graduation rates. It's also about getting a J.O.B.
Venture for America is a program for young, talented grads to spend 2 years in the trenches of a start-up with the goal that these graduates will become socialized
and mobilized as entrepreneurs moving forward.

Connect Your Own Dots: Social Media Integration as a Best Practice for Market...Susan T. Evans
Your audiences experience your brand and hear from you through an ever growing list of social media channels; but you can’t expect them to connect the dots. Instead, you need to develop an institutional plan that will allow you to stay on message across multiple digital channels like social media aggregators, websites, editorial calendars, and social media campaigns. A social media strategy isolated from your broader communication/marketing strategy is a risk. This webinar will include specific suggestions and demonstrate best practices through case studies from educational institutions.
The Employability Gap: Five Ways to Improve Employability Outcomes in Higher EdMichael Bettersworth

Considering the massive investment required for higher education, aren't these valuable measures as well?
