Ep 217: Voices of Student Success: Is College Preparing Students for Work?

In this episode of Voices of Student Success, Inside Higher Ed's podcast series exploring what really shapes students' experiences, Félix Matos Rodríguez, chancellor of the City University of New York, joins IHE student success reporter Joshua Bay. As students and families increasingly question the value of a college education amid an uncertain job market, institutions are placing greater emphasis on career readiness and how they can better prepare students to succeed in the workforce. They discuss how colleges can make career readiness a more integral part of the student experience, what CUNY hopes to accomplish through its recent expansion of CUNY Beyond, and how higher education can better prepare students for a rapidly changing workforce as well as support their long-term success.
