Success in the fast-changing landscape of the modern workforce requires proper, ongoing education and training amid a talent pool that is increasingly diverse, tech-savvy, global-minded and entrepreneurial. However, inspirational and talented today’s workforce may be, employment demand often exceeds supply, making competition for jobs stiff and increasing hiring/candidate qualification standards in kind.
In fact, by 2020, it is expected that fully 65 percent of job openings will require at least an associate’s degree, while 35 percent will require a bachelor’s degree. Even so, having a college education or being exceptional at what you do will no longer suffice when you need to stand out from the crowd. Continued specialized education and training will, however, help success-minded professionals break through career stagnation barriers and successfully realize growth opportunities.
According to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, demand for continuing education for adults aged 35 or older will continue to grow through 2016. Despite compressed national median family income and claims that higher education might be overpromising and under-delivering, the underlying value proposition for continuing education persists.
The T.D. Jakes School of Leadership (TDJ-SOL) instituted by Regent University’s Professional & Continuing Education division (PCE) and championed by esteemed education authority Dr. Steve Perry, have joined forces with key industry leaders and field experts to offer fully accredited, industry-focused curriculums comprised of online business/leadership institutes and specialized certificate programs. These programs are designed for professionals, emerging and established leaders, knowledge workers in transition and retirees striving to “chart a course” for the next phase of their lives.
TDJ-SOL’s world-class courses and programs, including The Women’s Leadership Institute and The Daymond John Certificate in Entrepreneurship with marketing classes taught by ABC-TV Shark Tank star Daymond John, himself, are expertly engineered for adult learners seeking concentrated continuing education opportunities that will help them grow and excel in their professional and personal development.
I’m very interested in knowing more the educational institutions that are gonna be presented in the future.
