As the skills gap and challenging economy continue to affect the abilities of employers to fill jobs and workers to find suitable employment, emphasis has been placed on more closely aligning college education with the needs of employers. However, a recent University of Phoenix® survey finds that only a quarter (25 percent) of working adults say college education today effectively prepares students for employment in the workforce, with only 10 percent saying it prepares students very effectively. Nearly nine-in-ten (87 percent) working adults say there are benefits to online learning, with the larger majority citing the ability to go to school while working full-time or part-time (78 percent) and the ability to learn from anywhere in the world (63 percent).
