Reimagining Student Mobility Webinar #1: Challenges & Solutions
In this first in a series of webinars, Carl Allen, 4MATIV’s CEO, walks participants through the basics of student mobility, outlining the key components, defining the core challenges, and identifying where the solutions must come from. You’ll learn how transportation can impede access to learning opportunities and explore how policies, systems, and people can be activated to meet the individualized needs of every learner.
