About this listen
Higher education is under pressure to deliver both rigorous learning and clear pathways to work. This episode explains comprehensive workforce alignment: an institution-wide approach that embeds career readiness into curriculum, advising, co-curricular life, employer partnerships, and data systems so students graduate ready for meaningful work while retaining critical thinking and civic purpose.
We outline practical pillars—early and continuous career development, curriculum-mapped competencies, high-quality work-based learning, stackable credentials, equity-focused supports, and coordinated leadership—and show how these strategies boost retention, employment outcomes, and social mobility when designed and measured thoughtfully.
