Pre-RFPEducation & TrainingDetected Jun 18, 2026

The June 18, 2026 agenda includes a presentation item labeled “Strategic Plan - Adult Learners,” indicating that CSM is actively developing or refining a strategic plan specifically targeting adult learner populations. This suggests a broader institutional effort to expand or redesign programs, services, and delivery models for working adults, upskilling, reskilling, and community-based learners. At this stage, there is no specific procurement described, but strategic planning for adult learners typically drives future investments in curriculum development, instructional design, online and hybrid delivery, workforce partnerships, advising, marketing, and supporting technologies.Vendors in EdTech, workforce development services, adult learning program design, and related consulting can view this as an early planning signal to position solutions that align with CSM’s emerging adult learner strategy.

This item aligns conceptually with the Modern Campus LLL & Workforce platform, suggesting a coordinated push around adult and community learners.
