Why
The world has changed. Students will need to learn in a new way.
Today's students are different
Today's college students are unique – the first generation to grow up with constant connectivity and who navigated education during a global pandemic. This requires a different approach to education.
Technology has evolved
While students and faculty have access to a growing array of new technology tools, schools require a different approach. Not all new tech is inherently better for learning, and effective implementation strategies are crucial.
Ideal talent has changed
The focus of talent acquisition has shifted. While the ability to utilize AI remains valuable, companies now also seek talent with strong human skills, such as creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.
Schools aren't changing
Educators and administrators often desire change. However, in most cases, the obstacles aren't financial. Rather, it's a structural issue caused by layers of legal agreements established for different purposes.
We offer resources that increase 3Rs for students
Relevancy - Skills and knowledge required for the workforce of the future.
Relationships - Uniquely human skill that will open new opportunities.
Rigor - The inner strength to do hard things and breakthrough barriers.
