1 Jenzabar Higher Reach Continuing Education and Workforce Development Administrative Solution for Higher Success

2 Higher revenue. Higher efficiencies. Higher success. It s all within your reach. Recent shifts in the higher education marketplace have been dramatic. A new traditional student has emerged as adult education, career training, and online education have created a lifelong learning environment forever changing what going to college means in the 21st century. As institutions embrace the new opportunities, extension schools are becoming incubators for ground-breaking programs, many seeing unprecedented success. Continuing education, non-credit courses, professional certifications, workforce development programs, corporate campuses, and enrichment offerings are becoming centers of perpetual return on investment for many higher education institutions. Schools are quickly learning that the technology needs of CE and workforce development programs are unique. Courses for new traditional students can range from a single, online lecture to a nine-month certificate program or more. New traditional students requirements and preferences are constantly changing, creating a greater demand for online programs and self-service, flexible scheduling for a better work/family balance, stackable certificate programs, and unprecedented mobility. Our programs vary greatly in terms of length, price, intensity, and student requirements. We need one system that recognizes that the needs of continuing education can be different from those of the traditional university. Jenzabar Higher Reach is flexible enough to manage all of our various scenarios, such as handling a simple four-week lecture series as well as a nine-month certificate program.
