Career and Learning for Life consortium

The Career and Learning for Life (CALL) consortium represents CHASI’s first dedicated research cluster of Faculty Associates. CALL recognizes the need for research to inform transformative social innovation in how we think structurally, economically, socially, culturally, and politically about equitable career learning and higher education’s role in preparing graduates for the rapidly, and often dramatically, changing world.

Learn more about CALL in the consortium's announcement.
