What 270,000 Adult Learners' Career Outcomes Can Teach Us About Advancing Career Mobility Through Higher Education
Wednesday, October 26, 2022
2:00 pm ET
Presenters: Rucha Vankudre, Sr. Economist and Lead Researcher, Lightcast &Trina Poe, VP of Enterprise Sales, Education, Lightcast, 
  • For institutions looking to grow enrollment, adults with a high school diploma and no college degree are the single largest pool of prospective students in the US (96 million vs. only 3.6 million high school graduates in 2021). Moreover, Lightcast research shows that returning to college is a high-ROI activity for adults in the workforce, resulting in a 22% greater chance of achieving upward mobility and a remarkable 140% greater increase in average annual earnings growth compared to peers who do not go back to school.

    And yet, many institutions know little about who adult learners are, and what makes them successful. In order to attract, enroll, and educate this population in a way that aligns with their needs and goals, the first step is greater understanding.

    Rucha Vankudre, senior economist and lead researcher for an analysis of real-world education choices and career outcomes of over 270K adult learners, called Moving Up and Moving Forward: Advancing Mobility for Adult Learners, will unpack key findings from the report and host a data-rich presentation from the global authority in labor market data analytics on:
    • ​Who adult learners are, including their demographic characteristics and professional background
    • The value of educational investment in terms of its impact on adult learners’ career trajectories and economic mobility
    • What types of institutions, programs, and occupations lead to the best outcomes for working adult learners

In-House Financing Best Practices Plus New School & Servicer License Requirements
Wednesday, December 7, 2022
2:00 pm ET
Presenters: Matt Chinn, UNISA, COO & Erin Vargas, Bellus Academy, COO
  • Today’s regulatory landscape looks a lot different than it used to.  When it comes to properly originating a payment plan, retail installment contract and/or promissory note for in-house financing, schools must be aware of federal and state disclosure requirements and ensure compliance. From there, proper servicing must occur providing consistent reminders throughout the entire repayment process as well as ensuring compliant payment processing. California rolled out licensing requirements for proprietary schools and companies that service private education loans and as of the summer of 2022, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Washington have followed suit. This includes receiving payments, sending notifications, and maintaining account records and/or any interactions and communications specific to a student loan. Further, the regulations cover where the student or alumni resides, not where the school is located.  We hope you will attend this informative and interactive session hosted by a seasoned multi campus school COO and student loan servicer executive. Register to learn in-house financing best practices and ways to ensure and promote compliance.
