Innovation involves embracing new and different ideas involving change and reform. Academic Innovation supports colleges and universities across the University System of Georgia in addressing issues related to initiatives aligned with USG Strategic Plans and statewide priorities in workforce education and development. This also includes partnerships with K-12, TCSG, and USG. By providing tools for analyzing workforce demand and collaborating on the creation and enhancement of academic programs and teaching methods, institutions can rethink teaching and learning environments, stay responsive to the evolving workforce needs, and enhance student preparedness for future careers.
