Transforming Workforce Development through Community Colleges, feat. Julian L. Alssid, Chief Marketplace Engagement Officer, Unmudl

Julian L. Alssid, Chief Marketplace Engagement Officer at Unmudl, joins podcast host Kiran Kodithala on this episode of the Illuminate Higher Education podcast. They discuss the evolution of the community college experience and how new innovations are driving better alignment with workforce demands.

Julian explains how community colleges have several challenges to overcome. First, they must move away from the supply-side approach to academic programming. Instead, curricula should be designed to help students achieve desired outcomes based on employer needs and market demands.

You’ll also learn why the workforce of tomorrow needs a blend of technical and soft skills, how community colleges create lifelong learning paths, and how Unmudl is transforming the student experience through its online education marketplace by opening up opportunities for learning at community colleges nationwide.
