University 5.0
Learning, Leadership, and Labor in Higher Education.
University 5.0 works with institutions seeking to strengthen workforce education and adult learning programs in ways that are academically credible, operationally sustainable, and aligned with real labor market conditions. Our services focus on program design, portfolio strategy, quality alignment, and organizational positioning for non-credit, credit-adjacent, and adult-focused initiatives. This work supports institutions in stabilizing and legitimizing workforce education without requiring wholesale structural reform.
This work is informed by the University 5.0 framework, a strategic model developed to examine how learning, leadership, and labor interact within contemporary higher education institutions. While University 5.0 is grounded in a broader institutional analysis, its application here is deliberately focused on workforce education and adult learning as the most immediate point of leverage.
University 5.0 offers focused advisory services in workforce education and adult learning, applied with deliberate scope.
Our work supports institutions navigating the design, legitimacy, and long-term positioning of workforce and adult-focused programs.
