ReUp Education

Access to higher education unlocks doors to personal and professional advancement. It empowers individuals with the knowledge and skills to navigate today's workforce confidently. Higher education offers adult learners a chance to gain qualifications they may have missed earlier in life, leading to improved job prospects and a greater sense of personal achievement. Making higher education accessible for adults is an investment in our collective future, economic growth, and a resilient workforce. But everything starts with small steps. Even the smallest change can have a big impact.

As Amanda Gorman writes in her poem, "Believer's Hymn for the Republic": Today, we gather so that our Founders' words do not go diminished. But also so that the work does not go unfinished. For it's not just in a declaration of independence But the everyday declaration of its descendants That make a people equal. In observance of Independence Day, ReUp offices are closed today. This holiday offers a time to reflect on our nation’s history and take the time to consider the opportunities we all have to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable future.

Re-engaging adult learners is a crucial yet complex task for colleges and universities. Often, institutions rely on DIY methods such as reaching out via emails or phone calls, but these efforts come with significant limitations. Bandwidth: Internal teams often juggle multiple priorities, lacking the resources to engage a vast number of learners and personalize outreach to meet individual needs. Complex Engagement: ReUp's data reveals that effective re-engagement requires an average of 29 interactions per learner, a number that exceeds the capacity of most in-house teams. Institutions can overcome these challenges by leveraging technology and specialized knowledge to scale their efforts. Discover more about how to effectively re-engage adult learners in our latest blog. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g4GabzBE #HigherEducation #AdultLearners #StudentSuccess
