Should Recruiters Take Online Degrees Seriously

Should Recruiters Take Online Degrees Seriously Because of expanding monetary difficulty, developing innovative strengthening, dynamic ways of life and the expanding accentuation on information accreditation and certifications, we have seen a flood sought after and arrangement of online college degrees. Numerous understudies consider online to be as a handy and progressively reasonable approach to get a degree, and subsequently businesses will progressively be seeing alumni coming through with accreditation from online establishments or online resources inside customary homeroom based learning organizations. This presents another issue for managers; likewise with anything new, there can be dread and vulnerability, and online degrees have unquestionably experienced a discernment issue. Studies show that numerous businesses disapprove of online degrees as there are concerns they need thoroughness and vis-à-vis cooperations and that there is more extension for scholarly deceptive nature. Online degrees likewise have an unenviable relationship with confirmation factories, for example offensive foundations that give counterfeit degrees. So ,with the subject of online degrees currently slamming at the entryways of enrollment specialists, its opportunity to pose the inquiry, Should bosses pay attention to online degrees? Heres my view: One of the principal huge issues to address is whether the nature of online degrees coordinates that of customary degrees. As indicated by a report by the U.S. Branch of Education, which took a gander at 99 exploration concentrates somewhere in the range of 1996 and 2008, classes with web based realizing, (regardless of whether absolutely on the web or mixed), on normal delivered more grounded learning results than classes with simply up close and personal guidance. In this way, as indicated by scholarly exploration, online degrees are, at any rate, as successful a showing apparatus as study hall drove learning and seemingly progressively powerful. So now we realize that online degrees are acceptable quality, how might we be certain that the degree that we are taking a gander at is of acceptable quality and not from a recognition factory giving out phony degrees? This is an extremely simple one to determine. The U.S. Government has handled the issue of certificate factories, and now bosses can check the legitimacy of any online organization by reaching their states Better Business Bureau or state lawyer commanders office to check whether the online degree foundation they are worried about is working legitimately and whether it is authorize by a broadly perceived office. We would now be able to see whether an online degree establishment is real, yet how benefit we know whether it is in any way? This issue of value isn't novel to online organizations and is shared by eye to eye instructing schools. In the up close and personal world, there are perceived association tables of degree quality by subject, which you can access to find out how great an organization/school really is, and the equivalent goes for online degrees. There are numerous overviews out there, however the most trustworthy and extensive online degree program association table I could discover was the Best Online Degrees Program Table by the U.S. News and World Report. This shows that it is so natural to confirm an online degree organization and survey its quality, which implies that the final spoiler corresponding to online degrees is the issue of understudy confirmation, for example how might you be certain that the degree holder really accomplished the work and didnt just compensation another person to do it. In truth, we can never be absolutely certain, however we ought to be evident that this issue of student authentication and faking are not interesting to online establishments; it is a difficult which burdens customary degrees, as well. In any case, steps have been taken to lessen faking in online degrees. The College Opportunity and Affordability Act requires online universities that are getting government assets to guarantee that the individual tried out the course is really accomplishing the work. Therefore, these online foundations pay attention to understudy validation very and many work eye to eye or secure testing, and others utilize serious camera observation at the understudy test website alongside outsider screens. Retinal examining, electronic finger printing and key stroke examination are all in the pipeline. Thus, as should be obvious, the online degree segment is developing and advancing into entirely believable instruction area. If you can confirm the instructive foundation is both authentic and of adequate quality, online degrees ought to be considered on an equivalent premise to up close and personal degrees.

#SXSW Conversations Barriers Women Face in the Workplace - Workology

#SXSW Conversations Barriers Women Face in the Workplace - Workology Women in Creative Roundtable Women. Diversity. Equality.  These are three topics of importance that have been on my mind these last few weeks. Ive been reflecting and thinking about the problem, a solution and the challenges. As a woman and a mother to a young sassy and smart woman, I have watched and waited to see how other advocates, businesses and companies have chosen to respond. You might remember, my open letter to former Uber employee, Susan Fowler where I encouraged her not to take the settlement that would likely be offered by Uber once their investigation concluded and before she officially files her EEOC charge. During my time at SXSW 2017 Conference in Austin, Texas, Ive chosen  to focus on the areas of women and equality. Over the last eight years I have enjoyed watching the conference evolve and the topics of consideration and concern rise and flow. I spent time in two different sessions that focused on the industries of technology and the creative industries. The problems were different but the challenge was the same. How do we help women be more successful in the workplace, are able to contribute and feel empowered to work and be women and parents without getting your career placed on the mommy track. While I have my own personal experiences as a woman  in the workplace and as a parent, I wanted to hear from others and many that were men to talk about how we need to tackle this problem and drive actionable change. Women in Tech Panel The first panel was called Why Women in Tech Matter. Panel members were a mix of male and female of all ages, some as young as 14, gathered to discuss the past, present and future state of women working in technology. I was saddened and surprised to hear the stories, particularly of how one of the panelists left the technology field altogether during her graduate school studies due to the loneliness of being the only woman in her bioengineering field. Another panelist described receiving threats of sexual violence by her male graduate student classmates if she didnt quit making the men look bad, shut up and move to the back of the room. The panel further discussed the problem of increasing women in STEM which is a challenge globally, in part due to women being unable to access training and technology in their villages, cities and communities in order to be exposed to STEM as well as being formally educated. The panel presented  the current state things and a  number of different programs being offered to improve the number of women and girls who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math. In all honesty, it made me more than a little sad and depressed especially when you learn that 54% of women surveyed have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace and yet only 2% of them report that same harassment to their employer. Of the 54% of working women who experience sexual harassment at work, only 2% report it to employer Click To Tweet One member of the audience asked panelists how to handle inappropriate questions and comments by male colleagues. I, personally, found this interesting as I have no filter and prefer the direct approach. The panelists suggested to praise in public and criticize in private which I believe is appropriate in some circumstances. The audience member pressed again asking for actual words and phrases to use when faced with this situation as many in the audience agreed that it occurs on a regular basis. I think we regardless of being a men  or women need to step up in circumstances like this and let the other person know that the comment, question or action was inappropriate. And thats exactly what the public did this last week when a photo of a man thrusting at the temporary art installation, Fearless Girl statue placed on Wall Street in celebration of Womens History Month. For me, this typifies the kind of harassment that often occurs at work and elsewhere and not unlike what Susan Fowler described at Uber. Only this time, it happened in New York and not San Francisco. The panel concluded suggesting that women and male allies work together, support each other and consider partnering with organizations like Equals.org. Women in Creative Roundtable The second session I attended was more roundtable of 12 including myself who were invited to attend. I enjoyed the more intimate discussion directly with our hosts Casey Slater and author, Lisen Stromberg where we dove deeper into Strombergs research for her book,  Work Pause Thrive.  The roundtable was a continuation from the Elephant on Madison Avenue panel earlier that day. During the course of the discussion we focused on two key areas: Women and how motherhood impact their careers Harassment and discrimination in the workplace Once becoming a mother, women have four different career paths options in the creative industry: Downshifting Leaving the workforce altogether Pausing their careers Returning without taking additional time off after paternity leave. Strombergs research found that not-surprisingly,  72%professional mothers surveyed had downshifted their career and those that didnt downshift their careers were able to because of a combination of supportive employer and partner. 72% of professional mothers surveyed had downshifted their career Click To Tweet Because women are waiting longer to have children, especially Millennial women, employers are not equipped to handle the large influx of parents who are also career professionals whose work priorities are going to change because of children. Interestingly enough, the discussion also centered on men and their growing role as parents. Men, like women, are now struggling with parenting guilt, balancing their professional and personal lives and obligations as well as needing work scheduling flexibility. The panels generated good ideas  and discussion but left me and likely others with more questions than answers. Personally, Id like to see the government extend FLSA paternity leave benefits for both mothers and fathers and look at adding additional compliance requirements for industries who have less diversity. While I agree with both panels that we can make a difference as individuals and within our organization, I believe the only real way we can change the culture and climate when it comes to women is impact businesses in their bank accounts through additional incentives like a female focused Work Opportunity TAX Credit (WOTC) and additional employment laws requiring extended paternity leave benefits and diversity initiatives. You can see my live tweets from both sessions either with #elephantave or #womentech to see my notes and dialogue.
