About the Episode
In this episode, Clayton, Angie and Zach unpack the challenges with major and program relevance in higher ed and discuss ideas for how to design, develop and promote majors and programs that meet market needs and consumer demands.
They discuss:
- Higher ed’s current brand problem in the broader marketplace (fewer students going to college, pop culture challenging the relevance of college, etc.)
- The rising popularity of alternative education pathways (Lambda School, General Assembly, other bootcamps)
- Why higher ed must match what the job market is demanding — and the job marketing is changing at an unprecedented place
- Ideas for how to partner with leaders in the workforce
- Whether or not we’ll see the emergence of “Chief Product Officer” at schools
- How product as a differentiator can attract and retain attention of adult students
About the Series:
Attention Retention is a special podcast series on how to attract, enroll, retain, and empower the modern learner – brought to you in partnership with our friends at Archer Education.
Over the course of this series, we will cover higher ed’s product problem (and how to fix it), the challenges with major and program relevance in today’s dynamic market, how to successfully attract, enroll, and retain adult learners, how to compete in a market when your school doesn’t have a national brand, and much more.
This series is co-hosted with Angie Mohr, the Senior Vice President of Student Engagement and Clayton Dean, Senior Vice President of Agency & Partnership Management at Archer, and Zach Busekrus, from Enrollify.
Getting attention is hard enough, so once you have it, you’ve got to do everything you can to harness it. And that’s what our friends at Archer Education help schools do so dang well.
