Learn & Work Ecosystem Library

In Fall 2024, seven graduate students from Florida State University’s "Introduction to Program Evaluation" course (EDF 5461) delved into the Learn & Work Ecosystem Library. Their mission: to apply Library resources to academic assignments at a university. Students completed a one-week assignment to develop a plan for addressing real-world challenges in workforce development and/or partnership building. Through their work, students were asked to offer insights about the Library’s strengths, areas for growth, and provide recommendations for improvement. Here’s a look at the key findings from students and their instructor, Dr. Carrie E. Henderson, Ph.D. ⬇️ #LWLibrary #Learn #Work #Ecosystem #Library #SpecialProject #FSU #gradstudents

The Learn & Work Ecosystem Library serves as an information aggregator in the learn-and-work ecosystem. Built on a continuum model of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, the Library exemplifies a structured approach to organizing, curating, and transforming data into insights that benefit diverse stakeholders—from educators and policymakers to jobseekers and employers. The continuum is not just a theoretical framework; it’s a practical tool to guide people from basic data points to wise decisions, much like cultivating a thriving garden from a packet of seeds.
