Postsecondary institutions face growing challenges in student retention, major changes, and workforce alignment. While students possess abundant natural talent, an "exposure gap" often prevents them from connecting their innate aptitudes with viable career pathways and industry certifications.
This interactive Learning Lab demonstrates how leveraging aptitudes and industry certification data transforms the entire student lifecycle:
Recruitment & Admissions: Guide undecided applicants toward best-fit majors and technical pathways early.
Student Retention & Advising: Personalize first-year experiences and provide proactive support using positive, strength-based aptitude messaging.
Career Services & Employer Alignment: Connect students with industry certifications and local employer networks to foster social and economic mobility.
Participants will examine national student data, explore live aptitude-to-career matching, and learn actionable strategies to reduce major switching, lower student debt, and build strong workforce pipelines.
