Three components comprise the third iteration of Student Success: 1) Curricular and Co-Curricular Learning, 2) Assessment, and 3) Career Readiness. The second element of Student Success 3.0 — assessment — also must build upon the successes of its 2.0 measurements. In my Forbes article, “Employment: The Much Needed Ultimate Student Learning Outcome,” I explained that universities measure student learning outcomes (SLOs) currently through in-class assessments that target the micro and macro-level of a learner’s knowledge acquisition. The final element of Student Success 3.0 — Career Readiness — recognizes that the modern world has changed. Career readiness fuels Student Success 3.0 and preparing for it must begin from a freshman’s first day on campus from this point forward.
