Overview

We are pleased to invite you to a special Orientation Webinar on Friday, 25 July 2025, from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, where we will unveil the new standards in our self-survey instrument -focusing on one of the most vital priorities in higher education today: EMPLOYABILITY.

These new standards are designed to help your institution:

  • Strengthen job placement programs and support systems
  • Equip students with essential soft skills such as communication, leadership, adaptability, and more
  • And, most importantly, demonstrate graduate outcomes with clarity and credibility

To help institutions meet these objectives, we are pleased to co-host this session with AppliedHE, an international platform dedicated to institutional excellence. They will present the AppliedHE 3M Performance Improvement Consulting Project - a holistic, practical, and cost-effective solution already aligned with PACUCOA’s latest indicators.

Through the 3M, your institution can:

  • Benchmark the performance of your Students, Alumni, Faculty, and Employers;
  • Implement a cutting-edge soft skills assessment platform that is fully aligned with PACUCOA’s new instrument - supporting your accreditation process while enhancing students' CVs, employer visibility, and institutional reputation;
  • Activate alumni engagement for long-term impact and funding;
  • And boost your institutional marketing, reputation, and global competitiveness;

This session is designed not only to explain what’s new but to show you how to take action immediately with practical tools that support both accreditation compliance and institutional transformation.

We look forward to your participation and to working together toward graduate employability and institutional excellence.
