00:00 Welcome to the digital version of our 2023 Academic Annual Report. 00:06 Our Academic Report helps us share the story of our dedication to empowering our students, with a flexible, valuable, and career-focused education. 00:16 University of Phoenix was created to serve career-focused adults, parents and caregivers, first-generation college students, 00:25 military servicemen and service women, veterans, and family members from all walks of life. 00:31 The stories of our students and alumni are the heart of University of Phoenix. 00:36 In this year's Academic Report, we'll introduce you to some of our students and alumni, sharing their stories of resiliency, and how they remain dedicated 00:44 to pursuing their educational goals, even while encountering challenges. You'll learn how we are leading in career-focused education. 00:52 As employer hiring and mobility practices increasingly emphasize skills, our students can be confident that their degrees line up with real-world careers. 01:03 We have advanced the dynamic and institution-wide shift to skills-aligned learning, embedding authentic assessments 01:10 into our skills-aligned curriculum, so that students might quickly identify the skills they are building throughout their coursework. 01:19 In 2023, we achieved 100% skills alignment in our Associate's, Bachelor's and Master's Degree Programs open for new enrollment. 01:29 We know that if individuals can identify their skills while they are learning, they can more quickly also identify career opportunities, and make career shifts. 01:39 With the launch of our Career Navigator Platform in 2023, students now have a place where they can easily reference their Skills Profile 01:46 and digital badges, explore career goals, and search job postings. 01:52 The easy-to-use Career Guidance Platform expands the ecosystem we built around our career services for life commitment, 02:00 helping students navigate their career journey with confidence. 02:04 In addition to building upon our career-focused education, we've also worked hard to offer an affordable education. 02:11 We work with students to evaluate and identify transfer credits, eligible alternative credits, and credits for prior learning. 02:19 In 2023, this effort helped our students save over $100 million in tuition, between discounts, scholarships, and other savings. 02:30 I invite you to explore more about how University of Phoenix Research Centers advance understanding of workforce issues. 02:37 In fact, the University of Phoenix Career Institute and Career Optimism Index, our annual study of workplace sentiment 02:44 and employer perspectives, provides research into the solutions that today's employees and employers need. 02:52 It positions University of Phoenix squarely at the intersection of higher education and the labor market. I hope you will read more in the full PDF of the report. 03:01 Our online learners come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, and we want to create a sense of belonging for them. 03:09 We established an inclusive community space, with our student cafe Bravely Belonging. 03:15 We engaged the broader community with our Annual Inclusive Leadership Summit, that awarded leaders digital badges for assessed inclusion and belonging leader skills. 03:25 We are an accredited institution providing robust, career-relevant learning programs for our students, as we strive to help them prepare for the ever-changing employment landscape. 03:37 Our continued accreditation of University of Phoenix by the Higher Learning Commission demonstrates our commitment to our students and alumni 03:45 in providing quality, career-relevant curriculum, certificates and degrees. 03:51 We celebrate our students and alumni achievements and success, and we are inspired by them.
University of Phoenix summarizes the University of Phoenix Academic Annual Report 2023, with Provost John Woods explaining skills-aligned learning, career resources, affordability initiatives, workforce research, belonging and career-relevant academic programs.
