Lower Saxony – Scotland Joint Forum 2024: The Jubilee Edition DAY II: WORKSHOPS Today we have the pleasure to introduce another workshop that will take place on the second day of the Joint Forum: “Who attends university, who doesn’t, and what should we do about it? Social mobility and patterns of higher education representation in Scotland and Lower Saxony”. This workshop will be held by Dr Stephanie Mckendry and Kelly Stewart from University of Strathclyde, who will explore social mobility and access to higher education within Scotland and Lower Saxony, with a particular focus on social class. Taking a comparative approach, participants will be asked to consider the challenges and successes in widening access to higher education. The discourse will revolve around patterns of representation within higher education, barriers to participation, government policy on participation/inequalities in higher education and effective practice in supporting access to higher education, as well as the ways in which comparative approaches can stimulate understanding and the sharing of good practice. More details about the project can be found at: https://joint-forum.org/. To ensure your place at the 2024 Joint Forum, please register via: https://lnkd.in/eWQ3PXxw.

If you're interested in a vision for Canada's higher education landscape to support our nations' rapidly evolving workforce needs this report is a great, and reasonably short, read. I'd love to know your thoughts. Does this report resonate with you? Are there other things to think about? "While the purpose of higher education is not just job readiness, it is crucial for Canadian students to graduate workforce-ready and employable. Yet, academic programs cannot be charged with ensuring students graduate workforce-ready alone. It is imperative for Canada to maintain a robust workforce development ecosystem populated with academic institutions, not-for-profits, government, and industry partners who can provide work-integrated learning experiences to ensure students are eligible for gainful employment when they graduate."

When I present to 3 Enrollment Marketing, Inc. partner institutions, I tell them they could use LinkedIn's document posts to post their viewbook or a brochure that explains why people should attend. It isn't a cool platform, and most people want to be where the kids are. But this platform is where the high school admins are, and this can be a useful tool for telling the story of a school. Check out this post below to see how LinkedIn elegantly posts a PDF. This isn't cutting-edge. But it can matter.
