Reasons Your Modern College Needs Modern Credentials Why - ModernThe traditional degree pathway is becoming less relevant to the modern learner every day, and so are the credentials they produce—often too generalized and not responsive enough to fulfil learner and employer needs. On top of this, degree pathways demand money and time that learners looking at traditional two-year programs frequently don’t have. This can be a challenge for community and technical colleges. The days of learners graduating and holding one job in a career are fast disappearing, and declining enrollments throughout higher education are signalling the need for change. Time and resources aren’t as abundant for the average college learner as we once thought, and the shifting labor market isn’t kind to those without postsecondary education. This need presents an exciting opportunity for transformation, though. The door opens for new structures and approaches that support outcomes-driven learning and credentialing. Colleges whose delivery models provide clear entry points for newcomers to postsecondary education—that lead to clear and sustainable career pathways—will have an enormous advantage over other institutions and education providers in the market. 22 Campus
