This year, our programs and engagements will focus on entrepreneurship, employability, ethics, and leadership development. Here’s a quick snapshot of the year ahead:

Systems Change Program for Employability Pilot
“The goal is for participating institutions to set up structures that support career services if they are yet to. If they already have career services structures in place, the goal is to strengthen them.” – Rose Dodd, Director, The Education Collaborative.
