Academic mini-series webinar—Beyond the Diploma: The Degree That Comes with a Raise
27 January 2026 | 12:00 PM (ET) / 11:00 AM (CT) / 9:00 AM (PT) / 17:00 (UTC)
The webinar will only be 30min and not offer CPE.
88% of employers say that industry-recognized credentials strengthen a candidate’s employability.
Let’s talk about how to turn that insight into action. In this fast-paced, 30-minute session, we’ll show how colleges and universities are bringing credential content into both IT and non-IT degree programs. Students walk across the stage with a degree and the real-world skills that open doors (and boost starting salaries).
You’ll see how this approach keeps programs in sync with what employers actually want, while giving faculty fresh, industry-backed content that’s easy to integrate and fun to teach.
Expect ideas, inspiration, and maybe a few “why aren’t we already doing this?” moments. Come ready to rethink what “career-ready” really means, and leave fired up to make it happen.
You’ll learn how to:
- Blend degrees with industry-required credentials so students graduate job- and paycheck-ready.
- Fuel your faculty’s genius with content that turns lectures into career launchpads
- Turn your programs into magnets that attract new students, impress employers, and drive results.
- Stay ahead of market shifts with content that aligns to changing workforce needs.
- Find new wins for your institution through flexible, plug-and-play credential content that boosts reputation and revenue.
