Why Skills? Why Now?

In this webinar, Emsi CINO, Rob Sentz, discusses why skills are the common ground between the mission of higher education and the demands of economic reality. See how a skill-based approach can help your institution equip learners with the work-ready skills and credentials they need to succeed after graduation.

Rob highlights these, and other high-level concepts from the recently released ebook, Skills Required.
