On this AEI Events Podcast, researchers and college leaders met at AEI to discuss the connection between education and employment and how to improve the liberal arts degree.

How can the liberal arts become more valuable for students and employers? How can community colleges and universities incorporate more skills-building opportunities into their programs? How can institutions fashion tighter connections between education and employment? Join AEI’s Mark Schneider and Ryan Streeter, accompanied by expert panelists, to discuss the consequences of rising education costs, and how institutions can fashion tighter connections between education and employment.

This event features opening remarks from AEI’s Ryan Streeter (1:09), and is moderated by Goldie Blumenstyk from Chronicle of Higher Education (4:06, Panel I) and Jeffery J. Selingo from Arizona State University (43:47, Panel II). Panelists include AEI’s Mark Schneider, Matthew Sigelman, Cheryl Hyman, Carol Quillen, and Monty E. Sullivan. The panel is followed by an audience Q&A (1:13:36).

This event took place on February 2, 2018.
