26 | I NSIGH T • M a r c h 2 0 15 w w w . i n s i g h t o n b u s i n e s s . c o m for those who have skills, especially advanced skills, and those that lack those skills, is growing," Quinn says. "It is getting increasingly difficult to be able to find a job that can really earn you a living and support a family unless you have a substantial amount of training." Quinn says St. Norbert wanted to develop a program that fit the college's style and mission, emphasizing so skills such as communication and thinking critically, and also placing a focus on networking. Zach Voelz, vice president for enrollment management for Lakeland College in Sheboygan, says flexibility is key to attracting busy professionals, and many opt for an online degree. "e traditional go-to schools of Northeastern Wisconsin are losing some traction as prospective students are swarmed with options from around the nation," Voelz wrote in an email message. at was really the impetus for Lakeland to develop its BlendEd LIVE format, allowing students to stay home and connect to a live classroom, Voelz says. "We spend a lot of time with industry leadership discussing their needs — including the types of positions they anticipate filling and the skill sets needed," Voelz said. Already, UW-Oshkosh's executive MBA program has paid off for Potts, who in January joined Habitat for Humanity as executive director. "I've always wanted to lead an organization, so personally one of my professional goals was to get the MBA to help put me in the position where my professional experience would be complemented."
