Forging Partnerships to Align Education and Industry for the Workforce of Tomorrow
The pace of economic and technological change is accelerating, creating both challenges and opportunities for businesses, higher education institutions, and learners. To meet this moment, the Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF), with support from the Strada Education Foundation and Ellucian, has released its inaugural State of Skills and Partnership Research Study.
This groundbreaking report highlights the critical role of business-higher education partnerships in addressing skills gaps, advancing diversity, and building an innovative workforce that is ready for the jobs of tomorrow. Drawing on insights from nearly 400 business leaders and over 200 higher education leaders nationwide, the study offers an in-depth look at the state of collaboration today and actionable recommendations for the future.
