Sherry Blok

Strategic Advisor in Lifelong Learning & Workforce Innovation

Professional Bio

I am a strategic advisor in higher education and workforce transformation with 30 years of progressive leadership experience in lifelong learning. I support institutions and organizations in aligning learning ecosystems with economic priorities, industry demand, and the evolving future of work.
My expertise spans revenue diversification through professional and executive education, large-scale workforce development strategy, institutional adoption of recognition of prior learning (RPL), alternative credential frameworks, and francization initiatives. I have advised senior leaders and cross-sector partners on portfolio design, partnership development, and scalable, market-responsive models that expand access while driving sustainable growth.
I bring a systems-level perspective that integrates policy, academic innovation, stakeholder engagement, and operational execution — translating strategy into measurable institutional and societal impact.
