NONCREDIT WORKFORCE EDUCATION
Using data to drive innovation
Tuesday, September 28, 2021
A new national survey of community and technical college administrators offers a fresh look at what’s sometimes called the “hidden college” – noncredit education. What do we know about noncredit programs nationwide? What does the survey add? Should the US Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System add questions on noncredit instruction and activity? How can new data drive innovation in noncredit workforce education?
A panel of distinguished educators and researchers discussed these important questions.
