?? The Learning and Employment Records (LER) community is growing, and we need your help!! ? SmartResume and AACRAO have partnered to create a survey that measures higher education’s progress in implementing LERs to support learners. By contributing to this effort, you're not only helping to gather key insights but also helping to build a future of shared best practices. https://lnkd.in/gT9ZDC-2 ?? Why does this matter??Collecting this information year after year will: - Identify best practices for LER adoption - Create benchmarks for institutions to measure their own progress - Produce valuable data and infographics that higher ed institutions can use to guide their LER journey ?? We need your voice!?If you’re implementing LERs at your institution, this is your chance to contribute to a larger cause. The more data we collect, the clearer the path forward for institutions like yours. ?? Please share this post with your network to help us reach more professionals in higher education who are involved in LER implementation. Let’s make an impact together!

Closing out this years Convergence, we celebrate our partnerships. Collaboration is key to solving the challenges we face in higher education. As a part of our work to ensure Learning Mobility, the AACRAO team is proud to be leading the LER Accelerator work to help #highered speed the adoption of the emerging digital learner record ecosystem.

“Aligning educational outcomes with market needs isn’t just a buzzword; it’s crucial. Employers seek candidates with tangible skills that translate into job performance. Schools and universities must adapt their curricula to meet these expectations, creating a seamless pipeline from classroom learning to workforce readiness.”

Presenting today with this rockstar - Krystal Rawls, Ph.D. who will be discussing the CSUDH Workforce Integration Network and the emphasis on building Recognition Systems to Strengthen Community Partnerships today at 3pm (CT) Algiers.

??Have you heard? "Soft Skills" have gotten a rebrand, and hint, it's here to stay. Some might say, the new name is "durable". ?? "Soft Skills" are now being referred to as "Durable Skills" and "Essential Skills", and I'm here for it! (Sources: The Badge Summit @ CU Boulder, GlobalMindED, ActivateWork, Year Up United, Colorado Department of Education, Coalition on Adult Basic Education, and a broader ecosystem of training providers, #workforcedevelopment organizations, and HR/Talent industry leaders and researchers) See how our training programs at Opportunities Knock map to Essential and Durable skills that are in-demand for open roles and employee learning & development: https://lnkd.in/gA7QTQzD I created this map after a prospective client listed the skills below as critical, which proved that organizations are prioritizing learning and development for their employees because they know that Durable Skills and Essential Skills enable individuals to apply this foundational, yet critical knowledge to any work experience, transfer their skills to new roles, grow their careers, and connect more thoughtfully with internal colleagues, mentors, managers, hiring managers, and customers to be more effective, productive, and creative to improve performance. These skills hold immense value in our careers, our organizations, and our economy - and they're lasting. ?? communication ?? problem-solving ?? collaboration ?? networking ?? relationship-building ?? navigating difficult conversations ?? strategy ?? creativity ?? leadership ?? emotional intelligence ?? resilience ?? personal branding ?? resourcefulness Which Durable and Essential Skills are you focused on building and developing right now and why?
