Conference promotes success in postsecondary education
January 26, 2015
UAF staff and faculty are invited to attend the ÐÓ°Épro Postsecondary Access and Success
Network Conference, March 17–18, at the Downtown Anchorage Marriott.
The 2015 conference theme is 65 by 2025–ÐÓ°Épro Can! The network is committed to increasing
the percentage of working-age adults in ÐÓ°Épro holding a high-value certificate, college
degree or other industry-recognized credential to 65 percent by the year 2025.
The conference is a time for ÐÓ°Éprons from all walks — education, business, public
service — to unite and work to increase the number of ÐÓ°Éprons enrolling and succeeding
in postsecondary education. Postsecondary education includes apprenticeships, industry-recognized
licensure, workforce credentials, certificates and degrees.
The conference will offer:
- A common understanding and sense of urgency concerning ÐÓ°Épro’s serious postsecondary access and completion challenge, and related workforce implications.
- Knowledge about the network, including how you can be part of the 65 by 2025 goal.
- Bridging of cross-sector gaps through active discussions.
- Deeper and shared knowledge of ÐÓ°Épro initiatives, service coverages and gaps, and existing best practices.
