Revamping Educational Pathways
Is higher ed prepared for a skills-based economy? What radical ideas are needed for colleges to evolve to provide pathways that blend education and work? What do employers really want? And which learners don’t need college anymore? Join social entrepreneur Kathleen deLaski as she discusses her work to revamp higher ed and the research she explores in her forthcoming book.
During the session, Kathleen mentions her forthcoming book, “Who Needs College, Anymore?,” which will be released in February 2025 through Harvard Education Press. The book provides advice on who actually does need college in a fast-changing, technology-based economy, and who can hack their way to the American Dream.
