As the world continues to advance technologically, the workforce will have a constant need for evolving skills. Thomas Friedman of the New York Times <\/i>said several years ago, \u201cThis is not your parents\u2019 job market.\u201d<\/p>\n
The good news is, you\u2019re never too old to learn.\u00a0The question is, how<\/i> will you learn?<\/p>\n
Community colleges have focused on experiential learning since their inception. Experiential learning is a hands-on approach to learning through experience and reflection.\u00a0 Students participate in job shadowing days, panel discussions, business etiquette luncheons, capstone projects, networking nights, employer site visits, and Work-Based Learning to complement the classroom environment.<\/p>\n
The benefits of this type of hands-on learning, according to Rob Franek, Editor in Chief of The Princeton Review<\/i>, allow you to:<\/p>\n Start learning today. It\u2019s simple. Aristotle wrote in Nichomachean Ethics<\/i>, \u201cfor the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
