Reducing Student Debt Through Re-engineered Dev-Ed
Description:
Adult and higher education partners are disrupting legacy service models that created the student debt crisis and drove a business of remediation for colleges. The new collaboration refocuses colleges on their core mission of postsecondary education and adult ed on accelerating skills and connections to the workforce. Discussion includes managing the culture shifts in college bureaucracies, loss of identity for DE faculty, and how adult education adds value for the low-skilled customer.
