Senior Advisor Carrie E. Henderson, Ph.D. presented at the 2024 Talent Strong Florida Summit – Access for All this week. Carrie discussed how postsecondary program reviews often emphasize measures like retention and completion. She proposed strategies to incorporate labor market demand in program reviews to go beyond the status quo and demonstrate the value of credentials.
“Postsecondary program reviews often emphasize important measures of program performance, like retention and completion. But student performance is only one piece of the puzzle. Institutions should regularly include labor market data in program reviews to verify their programs continue to meet labor market demand.”
