Back to the Future of School
Recently, a number of folks have asked how the Guild team stays up to date on what's happening at the intersection of learning and work. It was hard to come up with a resource to recommend, so we decided to create our own.
Learning @ Work is meant to be a monthly newsletter for employers, educators, and curious minds who share Guild's aspiration to unlock opportunity for America's workforce through education.
It's September, so returning to school is a natural theme for this inaugural newsletter. That means something quite different this year of course. Rather than heading back to campus, many students will be taking classes from home. Instead of pursuing traditional degrees, many will seek short-term skill-based credentials. Given the chaotic nature of the labor market, it won't be surprising if students focus on learning practical skills with higher immediate value in the labor market. Plenty more to come on that.
One more thing before we get going: Although it's our intention to pack a lot of value into this newsletter, we understand that your inbox is a busy place. If you need to unsubscribe, there's a link to do that at the bottom of this email. And, if you have any feedback for us, we'd love to hear it. Just send me a quick reply.
