Online Backlash: Bad Policy Holds Students Back

Today, 65% of jobs require some education beyond high school. In the U.S. 62% of working age adults do not have a degree. Together, these numbers illustrate why we have a skills gap; we need to help more Americans upskill to find sustainable employment. This demands coordination among education providers, employers and policy makers. Unfortunately, current policy proposals undermine potential solutions like online learning which could help quickly expand education access to millions of learners.

Join Michael Hansen, CEO, Cengage Group, Scott Pulsipher, President, Western Governors University and David Barnes, Vice President Global Workforce Policy, IBM in a panel moderated by Jane Oates, President, WorkingNation.
