ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONVENING:
Amplify Your Impact in the Education-to-Work Ecosystem. The future relevance and sustainability of higher education increasingly hinges on the ability to cultivate a seamless and responsive education-to-work ecosystem. To truly influence this vital transition, you need actionable insights and connections.
The CAEL Virtual Convening (April 21-22, 2026) is your essential two-day deep dive into the strategies, policies, and partnerships that are redefining this ecosystem.
Key Themes you will Explore:
Postsecondary Transition: Tackling challenges like enrollment and retention to ensure a steady talent pipeline, and analyzing the Return on Investment (ROI) of credentials to guarantee value for learners and employers.
Workforce Integration: Delving into the critical nature of apprenticeships as an earn-and-learn model, and examining the groundbreaking potential of the launch of workforce Pell Grants to expand access to skills training.
From visionary keynotes on the future of work to practical case studies and toolkits, this is where leading educators, employers, and policymakers convene to build a stronger, more equitable ecosystem.
