From Changing Higher Ed: “To succeed with adult learner enrollment and completion, institutions need partners. Colleges can’t be expected to provide everything in-house. This episode examines how intermediaries like Graduate Philadelphia facilitate the coordination of services among colleges, employers, and students.
This partnership model can include:
- Personalized advising and re-enrollment coaching
- Help navigating admissions, financial aid, and credit transfer
- Referrals for housing, food, health, and behavioral support
- Career-aligned upskilling and workforce development programming
By anchoring services in the community and integrating with employers and institutions, partnerships improve both enrollment outcomes and long-term student persistence.”
