Closing the Skills Gap in Higher Education

Introducing LeaderU (Overview Presentation)

Your institution already excels at job placement. So where's the skills gap?

You measure and excel at improving every stage of the student success journey, from enrollment to job placement. In fact, 96% of chief academic officers claim to be effective at preparing students. So why do only 11% of business leaders agree? (Gallup Study)

Although knowledge and technical skills may be critical to job placement... it is the life skills, human skills, and soft skills that are so essential to achieving career success. These skills have a lot of different names, but they share a common goal to responsibly lead one’s own life and to work more effectively with others. At FranklinCovey, we call this Principle-Centered Leadership™, and this paradigm changes everything when it comes to developing career readiness skills.

LeaderU helps you close the career readiness gap by teaching principle-centered leadership™ to students while they earn their degrees. You can integrate LeaderU in any course or program with access to all of FranklinCovey's award-winning content. After completing a course, students earn a verifiable leadership certificate to add to their resume.

By closing the career skills gap now, you can ensure your students achieve career success in the future.

Every day, your leaders and your workforce are faced with countless bits of information while making decisions that range from the pragmatic to the strategic. As they confront more and more information—requiring them to act quickly while considering varying perspectives—they are primed to rely on biased thinking.

Why? Because unconscious biases are shortcuts that help our brains compensate for overload. This affects how we make decisions, engage with others, and respond to various situations and circumstances, often limiting potential, inhibiting performance, and leading to poor decision-making.

You may be new to the topic of unconscious bias, or perhaps you already have a training initiative underway inside your organization. Regardless of your knowledge level, these complimentary resources will help as you create a workplace of inclusion and engagement.
