Transforming Curriculum and Higher Ed's Role in Workforce Success

Employers consistently are looking for employees who have the competencies and skills created through a liberal education.

Employers consistently rate individual skills such as drive and work ethic, ability to work independently, self-motivation, persistence and a sense of workplace belonging at the same level as teamwork, communications, critical thinking, and analysis.

Generational differences emerge among industry leaders. Respondents under the age of 40 especially value civic engagement, global education, and diversity, and are looking for graduates who display this knowledge and skill set.
