In a recent op-ed in Fierce Education, Penn Foster’s Chief Learning Officer, Dr. Andrew Shean, writes about the importance of providing pathways for skills-focused education. By placing more focus on offering skills-based coursework, learners can be more prepared to enter a competitive and changing job market, putting them on a path to continue to gain skills and build on their career success throughout their lives.
