In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, the alignment of degree programs with the demands of the workforce is paramount. This presentation explores the process through which EDvance College collaborates closely with employer partners to craft curricula that meet workforce needs. We delve into the workings of our program, highlighting our practices of engaging community advisory groups, conducting comprehensive surveys of employers and early childhood educators, and drawing from research on high-impact practices in children's learning and development. Our educational pathways place educators at the enter, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Real-life case studies illustrate how feedback and assessment mechanisms are instrumental in ensuring alignment with the ever-changing early childhood field, guaranteeing that our EDvance College graduates play a pivotal role in preparing all children for academic success.
