Strada Education and Gallup Announces The Release of The Latest Education Consumer Pulse Report at The 2017 Close It Summit
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 25, 2017 -- Today, at the 2017 Close It Summit, Gallup and Strada Education Network releases the latest findings from the Education Consumer Pulse™ (ECP), the first-ever daily survey of U.S. adults designed to understand and track Americans’ perceptions of their education experiences and how they relate to their career and life goals. The Summit kicks off with Strada Education Network Day: Innovation & Transformation in Career Services and features new research and leading strategies connecting education to employment. The day began with the release of the Education Consumer Pulse report, “Major Influence: Where students get advice on what to study in college.” It examines the source and helpfulness of the advice students receive on what to study in college. The report follows the release of June ECP data, which showed that 36 percent of the U.S. would change their major if they could. The day will feature a who’s who of experts in career services innovation. Day one features insights from thought leaders like Wes Moore, Jeff Selingo, Johnny Taylor, Martha Kanter and many more.
“Strada Education Network is pleased to host the opening day of the Close It Summit,” said William D. Hansen, Strada Education president, and CEO. “The day offers a unique opportunity not only to see the launch of our latest Education Consumer Pulse report with Gallup, but also to gain insights from some of the top thought leaders in career services innovation.”
Close It, produced by Innovate+Educate (I+E), a national nonprofit, in partnership with Strada Education Network dives deep into the latest innovations supporting the Shift, and explores new companies, models, pathways and players that are rapidly entering the market — reflecting a familiar pattern in which big, complex challenges threaten old systems and demand an entirely new approach. The theme “Shift Happens: Revolution,” is focused on the role of emerging technologies and strategies in creating pathways to social and economic mobility through the assess, hire, train and advance framework.
