Looking at How Learners & Program Management See the Learner Journey
The effectiveness of a graduate program depends on the understanding of individual learner journeys by program leaders and faculty, as well as the understanding of the program’s learner journey by individual learners. I explored these understandings from two distinct perspectives of the learner journey in my two previous episodes. One perspective was that of the learner, and the other was that of the program’s management. This episode's purpose is to show how aligning the two perspectives develops a framework for effectively managing graduate programs to the benefit of a diverse set of stakeholders, such as individual learners, faculty members, employers, and the community.

Embracing Skills-Based Hiring in Graduate Programs
Welcome back to the GME News Digest Podcast Series. Hi, I’m Rodney Alsup, your host for this episode, “Embracing Skills-Based Hiring in Graduate Programs.”
Ashley Mowreader’s insightful Inside Higher Ed article inspired this episode. Her title, “What Skills-Based Hiring Means for Higher Ed” caught my attention, so I thought I would explore its significance for the graduate education community. Her article was among the twelve pieces of content I included in last week’s curated selection for GME News Digest subscribers.
