ITDL Seminars:
Association of American Colleges and Universities Presents: Employers Speak on a Liberal Education
You are invited to participate in this webinar featuring employers addressing the value of liberal education outcomes in today's economy.
The webcast will engage two lively panels of employers and business leaders discussing the types of knowledge, skills, and attitudes they seek when hiring college graduates. Have recent years of economic contraction and technological progress realigned workforce needs? In a shifting, interconnected global marketplace, what can colleges and universities do to provide graduates with the capacities needed to succeed today and into the future?
The panels will be hosted in front of live audiences at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and at the California State University System office in Long Beach, CA. AAC&U will co-host from Washington, DC.
