- Summary:
- "Two of the biggest criticisms leveled at higher education are that college is no longer worth the cost and that students leave without learning the skills employers need. On top of that, colleges struggle to engage students and show them that their classes are relevant. But there's a strategy to meet all of those challenges: experiential learning. Four-year institutions often describe it as "service" or "project-based" learning, terms that stress the life-long benefits of civic responsibility and collaboration. At trade schools and community colleges, it's often called 'on-the-job training' or 'hands-on experience'. No matter the name, these approaches share a common element: They are grounded in the belief that true understanding comes from direct engagement with the world. With this report, you'll learn how to create programs that align academic goals with work-force demands."--Publisher's description
