How Colleges Can Provide On-Demand IT Credentialing

It’s fair to say that the pandemic has given us pause as to the role colleges and universities will play in the education process of our future workforce. However, there are those who see a vision of how colleges can contribute to providing 21st-century workers.

This disruption is all about the need to provide qualified, 21st-century workers. Where will this pipeline come from? Take a few minutes to watch my interview with Stephen Wright, the Director & Tech Sector Navigator, for the California Community College System as he discusses how community college students are an untapped resource in the race towards the 21st-century worker.

“There’s a huge unaddressed market of students and the enabling faculty that need support... There’s a whole hybrid ecosystem that needs to be looked at what combinations of certifications are needed for certain industries.."- Steve Wright
