Campus interview: Susan Aldridge, president of Thomas Jefferson University on educating career-ready graduates

How can universities equip students with the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed in a job market that is ever changing and increasingly difficult to forecast?

The answer, Thomas Jefferson University president Susan Aldridge says, lies in an interdisciplinary and applied approach to learning.

In this video podcast, she describes how the institution has achieved a 98% success rate for graduates in employment or further study, the benefits of bringing students from different disciplines together, upskilling everyone in the use of AI and why US university leaders need a joined-up strategy for communicating the value of higher education.
