Morley Winograd, co-author of Millennial Momentum: How a New
Generation is Remaking America, similarly argued, “The deflection point for
the more fundamental change will occur when universities no longer grant
degrees, but rather certify knowledge and skill levels, in much more finite ways
as your scenario envisions. Major university brands will offer such certificates
based on their standards for certifying various competencies that employers will
be identifying for their new hires.”
