Gary Matkin (University of California Irvine) on How Continuing Education Must Continue to Evolve

Corporate partnerships are one of the driving forces behind continuing education. They help prepare students for workforce expectations and guide instructors in developing curriculum in line with current employer needs. Since the internet came into the higher ed picture, multiple generations have used the web to advance their education and have had their learning experiences shaped by tech.   Gary Matkin, Dean of the Division of Continuing Education and Vice Provost of the Division of Career Pathways at the University of California Irvine, joined Illumination podcast host Amrit Ahluwalia live at the 2022 UPCEA Annual Conference to discuss the internet’s use in higher ed and how corporate partners are benefiting most from continuing education.
