How skills-aligned learning works
When creating our skills-aligned programs, we started with in-demand skills, based on workplace statistics and insights, and built your learning around them, one assignment at a time. Now, you can earn career-relevant skills with every 5- to 6-week course.听
Did you know? Aligning our programs to skills is like creating a nutritional facts label for our degrees and programs 鈥 you鈥檒l know exactly what you can gain from your coursework and how those skills relate to your career goals.听
We collaborated with Lightcast, a labor market data company, to find in-demand skills for occupations related to our bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degrees, and we鈥檝e aligned our programs to those skills.听
Now it鈥檚 easy to track your progress as you complete your coursework, so you know exactly which career-relevant skills you鈥檙e gaining.

Assessments for one or more skills are built into all skills-aligned courses. You鈥檒l have the opportunity to demonstrate your new skills in class, on the job and maybe even in that next interview you鈥檙e considering.听
