from Part IV - Rethinking Higher Education Admissions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 January 2020
In this chapter, the relationship between academic and workforce skills is explored. The ultimate goal of academic preparation is to prepare individuals to succeed in the workforce, and therefore more than just academic knowledge is required. Several factors that research has shown helps individuals succeed in higher education and in the workforce are discussed. These factors are classified into a framework called the ACT® Holistic Framework which covers four independent but highly related domains: core academic skills; cross-cutting capabilities; behavioral skills; and education and career navigation. Finally, the chapter describes environmental and technological changes that will require higher education institutions to consider more than the traditional characteristics of prospective students.
