As the world’s largest publisher of open educational resources, OpenStax provides free, peer-reviewed, openly licensed textbooks that empower students to develop the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in today’s dynamic workforce.
This session explores three key OpenStax titles — the Nursing series, Workplace Software and Skills, and Introduction to Python Programming — focusing on how they help students gain applicable workplace knowledge through guided activities, real-world examples, and expert-written chapters. Attendees will learn how high-quality OERs can prepare students for in-demand, evolving job skills, and how OERs are uniquely positioned to teach students the skills that employers are actively seeking.
