YU Global is where ambition meets a sea of opportunity. In a world where the job market is rapidly evolving, YU Global stands at the forefront, offering a pathway to success for those seeking to either enter the job market for the first time or find a new career path. YU Global’s mission is simple yet profound: to provide high quality, competency-based education and training that equips individuals with the skills employers are actively seeking.
The landscape of employment is changing. According to a recent study titled “The Emerging Degree Reset,” there is a significant shift in hiring practices. Employers are increasingly prioritizing skills over traditional degrees. The study revealed a notable trend: between 2017- 2019, 46% of middle-skill and 31% of high-skill occupations experienced significant resets in degree requirements. This change is more than a short term response to the pandemic; it represents a structural shift in the job market, opening up 1.4 million jobs to individuals without college degrees over the next five years.
YU Global understands that the key to unlocking these opportunities lies in skills-based training. Its certificates and trainings are meticulously designed to align with the demands of today’s job market. Regardless of one’s educational background, its programs are tailored to empower its clients with the skills needed.
YU Global courses are not just online, making them convenient for your schedule; they are alive with interaction and engagement. The courses include activities, videos, readings and opportunities to apply what is learned. Each week, participants will have the opportunity to connect with their peers and instructors in live online meetups, fostering a learning environment that is both collaborative and supportive. Its cohort-based, teacher-led approach ensures that learners are not just a number in a system, but a valued and active member of a community of learners.
The programs at YU Global are more than just educational courses; they are a journey toward a brighter future. By focusing on practical, employment-focused skills, YU Global prepares learners to not only enter the job market but to excel in it. Whether it’s improving communication skills, mastering the art of problem-solving, or developing technical expertise in a chosen field, YU Global is here to guide learners every step of the way. And, when learners finish their course, they are invited to come to YU Global’s cyber career center for free, where they will help learners find that job they are seeking.
In these challenging times, hope and opportunity are more important than ever. YU Global is committed to being a source of both. YU Global is not just an education provider; it is a partner in an individual’s journey to success. With the shift toward skills-based hiring, there has never been a better time to invest in yourself and your future.
