## Resource

In this bonus episode recorded live at the Collegis Education DisruptED summit in Phoenix, we spoke with Marc Austin and Reamer Bushardt to explore how partnerships between higher education institutions and employers can drive more relevant, workforce-aligned learning experiences. Through examples from healthcare and university initiatives, the conversation highlights how co-designed programs, continuous feedback loops, and shared goals can better prepare students for real-world careers. The discussion emphasizes that successful partnerships require trust, aligned values, and ongoing collaboration—not just transactional agreements. Ultimately, when done well, these partnerships create meaningful pathways for students, improve career outcomes, and strengthen the connection between education and the evolving needs of the workforce.
