Develop critical skill paths to meet your current and future needs
Continuous learning is smart business for both employees and employers, but most employees find it difficult to navigate successfully between work and learning. CAEL career paths link educational programs with work, on-the-job training and available support services. CAEL can identify jobs and skills of critical importance to the company’s current and future needs, and help your employees map their career goals to match those needs. See an example of Energy Industry skill paths online here.
Attract qualified employees early through high school pipeline programs
CAEL is working with companies that face skills shortages to encourage high school students to learn about and prepare for career paths in their industry. Through online learning, CAEL’s programs increase awareness among high school students of the jobs available and prepare them for entrance to the industry and for successful enrollment in industry-sponsored associate’s and bachelor’s degree programs.

Engage Older Employees
Employers across the country are beginning to grapple with the looming impact of the retiring Baby Boom generation. Many employers are considering the creation of incentives to retain their older employees so that they do not lose the skill sets and knowledge of a large cohort of employees in a short period of time. CAEL can help identify the needs and interests of mature workers and provide options and strategies on how to retain and engage these valuable employees beyond the traditional retirement age.
Form productive relationships with higher education & training providers
CAEL has been working with colleges and universities for over 30 years. We have been at the forefront of developing collaborations between industries and colleges for new degree and certificate programs that respond to industry needs, as well as the needs of adult learners. We can bring this expertise to your company and help you build higher education and training partnerships that fit your business and learning goals and leverage your company’s tuition investments.
Team up with other employers to create online and on-site degree and certificate programs
CAEL helps develop and maintain alliances among companies in a specific sector to define workforce and skill development needs. We link these employer groups with colleges and high schools to create online and onsite degree and certificate programs to reach large numbers of future and incumbent workers. We leverage regional, state, and federal workforce development resources to build these programs.
Cultivate Talent with Career & Education Advising
In a CAEL national survey of 287 employers, 91% report job performance is noticeably better when employees receive career and education advising, and 88% report that these employees stay at the company longer. CAEL’s Career and Education Advising services help your employees make the right education choices—allowing you to more effectively leverage tuition expenses to grow and manage talent.
Help your employees assess their skills and knowledge to receive college credit for prior learning
Taking classes for something they already know is not only frustrating to your employees—it can cost your company thousands in tuition and training dollars. Since CAEL’s founding in 1974, we have been working to develop and improve standards to assess prior learning and competencies for college credit. CAEL can apply this knowledge to your corporate environment to create a strategy to help your employees move through their programs faster, be ready to advance within your organization, and reduce their tuition expenses. |
