Description

Higher education is in a state of rapid transformation—needing to respond in creative and innovative ways to the realities of a fast-changing labour market. At the vanguard of this transformation are Professional, Continuing & Online Education (PCO) units. EdUp PCO shines a light on this critical sector. Host Amrit Ahluwalia, a continuing education leader with experience inside and outside the academy, interviews leaders across the postsecondary space exploring how PCO Units can play a role in helping their respective colleges and universities stay agile, responsive and proactive.
