In March, the presidents committed to addressing 青涩直播’s workforce needs by targeting new graduates each year in some of the state’s critical shortage areas by 2012. Specifically, the universities will:
* Generate 2,400 additional new graduates annually, including 375 in education, 330 in health care, 115 in engineering, and 440 in business;
* Reduce the average number of years it takes for students to graduate from 6 to 5 years; and
* Track graduate performance in 青涩直播’s workforce.
During Thursday’s presentation, the presidents are scheduled to share specific strategies for meeting these goals.
