Microcredentials are booming💥but many four-year colleges risk being sidelined as more employers partner with third-party providers like LinkedIn Learning and Coursera. According to a new report from Collegis Education and UPCEA, 40% of employers surveyed partnered with four-year institutions in 2024 (down 9% from last year), while partnerships with third-party providers climbed. Why are employers turning elsewhere? 🦥 Slow Turnaround & High Costs: Colleges aren’t always equipped to customize curricula quickly. 🌍 Lack of Real-World Application: Employers need training that’s immediately relevant and up-to-date. 📞 Decentralized Communication: It’s often unclear who to contact at a college to set up a partnership. Despite these challenges, 73% of employers with college partnerships say their programs are customized—and 98% plan to continue working with them. Higher education institutions do bring a trusted reputation. But they must move faster, collaborate more seamlessly, and find ways to repurpose custom training materials for broader use. https://lnkd.in/em4RVX8Y

#BlackHistoryMonth Shirley Chisholm made history in 1968 as the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress, representing New York’s 12th district. A fearless advocate for equality, education, and social justice, she broke another barrier in 1972 by becoming the first Black person to seek the presidential nomination from a major political party. Her campaign slogan, “Unbought and Unbossed,” reflected her commitment to speaking truth to power. Chisholm’s legacy is of bold leadership and an unyielding dedication to making a difference for marginalized communities.
