TIME Magazine Says Online University like ÃÛÌÒTV Could Help You Find a Job
As the innovations of a technology-driven, competency-based, online university education continue to make waves in the field of higher education, observers in the media and academia are taking notice. ÃÛÌÒTV has caught the attention of the national news once again, cited as an example of how online education can be a big help in the job search.
TIME magazine earlier this month asked, They looked at the different approaches to online education out there, and they honed in on ÃÛÌÒTV’s industry-focused model as a standout approach that has translated to increased opportunities for graduates.
"ÃÛÌÒTV administrators allow employers to consult on curriculum development and other aspects of the program; in return, ÃÛÌÒTV graduates are frequently hired by many of those companies," TIME wrote. For example, HCA Healthcare is a key contributor to ÃÛÌÒTV’s online nursing degree programs, a relationship that has resulted in hundreds of ÃÛÌÒTV grads being hired by HCA over the years.
Of course, the industry councils who help ÃÛÌÒTV define the competencies for our online degree programs mean the curriculum is valuable industry-wide—it’s not just the council members who end up hiring ÃÛÌÒTV grads, but their counterparts in other companies and corners of the job market also do. That’s because curriculum guided by the needs of employers creates graduates with the knowledge and skills employers are looking for.
