It’s YOUR time to #EdUpPCO


In this episode,

 

YOUR guest is Kassie Burkholder, Executive Director of Corporate & Continuing Education, and Product Development, at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.  

 YOUR host is Amrit Ahluwalia⁠⁠.

 

One Great Quote: “The question from lots of employers thesedays isn't ‘What credential do you have?’ It's more, ‘What can you do?’ The shift to competency-based learning is where continuing education departments can augment what the bigger institutions they're a part of are offering. It's not in competition of one another, but it's additive.”


Some key questions we tackle:

  • How do professional, continuing & online education units at colleges contribute to their respective institutions’ mission and goals?
  • What does it take to maintain and grow strong corporate partnerships?
  • What are the most significant misconceptions you’ve found that folks have about corporate and professionaleducation in the college sector?
