The Postsecondary Education National Advisory Panel focuses on developing and advancing policy proposals that will support a job-driven higher education system, with an emphasis on expanding student access to occupational training through improved financial aid and student supports; enhancing institutional capacity to develop and implement employment-focused programs in partnership with industry and other stakeholders; and building inclusive, aligned and market-relevant education data systems that support better consumer decisions and drive program improvement.
Members of this National Advisory Panel come to us from a number of our key national partners, including Workforce Data Quality Campaign (WDQC), National Council for Workforce Education (NCWE), National Fund for Workforce Solutions (NFWS), and The Education Trust (Ed Trust).
