Higher Education Innovation – A Synergistic Approach – with Richard Barnhouse – [Ep. 179]

Higher education costs have skyrocketed and many people wonder if the value matches the expense. That question has become more relevant as people who have never gone to college – or those who have gone and paid back their debt – are being asked to pay off loans for those who still have debt, and as many institutions focus less on academics than on social activism. Is there a better way? Do students truly need a traditional degree? Richard Barnhouse, President of Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC), discussed with Linda many of the innovative and synergistic approaches he has taken to improve options and outcomes in higher education. Working with businesses to design programs that truly prepare students for the work force is just one example of unique approaches that may be taken to assure student success and a strong, capable labor force. Listen to hear more innovative ideas that can empower individuals and businesses to succeed. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To  order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.
