News and Updates STARLINK is thrilled to present an "All-Star" lineup for your November professional development training. 40 million adults in America have some college, but no degree. Only 11% of business leaders "strongly agree" that students have the requisite skills for the workforce, whereas 96% of chief academic officers believe that their institutions are "very effective" or "somewhat effective" at preparing students for the work world. Students are beginning to question the return on their higher education investments, while the price of attaining a college degree continues to rise. This perfect storm has paved the way for competency-based education (CBE). But what is it? How will it impact your institution? What are the challenges, benefits, and best practices for CBE? STARLINK interviewed a wide range of experts addressing this new and disruptive trend, competency-based education (CBE). Our experts discussed faculty/student impact, challenges, and best practices regarding CBE. Additionally, STARLINK is releasing a spectacular program from our leadership series called "Successful Time Management Training". Dr. Rob Cavanna of Resource Training & Solutions shows you how to take control of your life, learn the myths of time management, and how to best prioritize your activities.
"It is about the difference 'competency-based education' is making in lives of students and the transformation that is occurring in higher education." -Dr. Christine Seifert
