Building partnerships between universities and companies is an old idea – today, however, companies need universities more than ever as they seek to make their teams “future ready.”  From upskilling and reskilling to finding ways to reward high potential employees, sophisticated employers are looking for schools that offer high quality, affordable, online education and are sponsoring tuition through innovative programs like those offered through InStride.  Ray is joined by Stephanie Tsales, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at InStride, to talk about building that future-ready workforce.
