Acceleration & Advancement

Accelerating the transition to digital and providing the services and support to succeed through college and beyond provides learners with the marketable, job-ready skills and the competitive advantage needed to enter the workforce. Employers are asking more of them, so they’re asking more of you. Is your institution preparing students with the skills employers want and expect?

Hiring managers in industries from television to nonprofit have also given us their perspectives on how strong professional skills relate to career success. Our Career Success eBook tells you what they’re looking for in their next hire.

Gray circle graphic with "Student, Institutional, and Faculty Success" written on the outer ring. The middle ring is three connecting puzzle pieces that read: Retention & Engagnement, Acceleration & Advancement, and Equity & Affordability. In the center is an image of a student. Acceleration & Advancement piece stands out in green.

Acceleration refers to a wide variety of support strategies to advance the transition to digital, enhance teaching tools for instructors, and help to improve student outcomes.

Advancement refers to educational programs and learning opportunities that help lead to student (and institutional) success by better preparing students for the workforce.

Consider this

While 96% of college administrators think they are adequately preparing students for careers, only 11% of employers agree.*

The truth is, so much of what matters in the workplace goes beyond technical and academic skills. Soft skills, such as problem-solving and collaboration, show employers your students have a better chance of performing and communicating well in the workplace. See what employers are looking for in today's job candidates in our infographic of the top 5 skills of the future.

The foundational baseline training that Pearson Career Success provides helps students translate coursework into the skills they need, like communication, critical thinking, and teamwork.

“The ability to demonstrate these in-demand professional skills [like communication, teamwork, and critical thinking] sets our students up for success and ensures their marketable skills are front and center for potential employers and graduate schools."
— Mike Simmons, Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, University of North Texas
