Creating new pathways for skilled, employable students

Higher education institutions must adapt to 바카라사이트 changing landscape of education and 바카라사이트 workplace to equip students with 바카라사이트 skills necessary for 바카라사이트 future

Webinar held in September 2021.

Digital transformation, in combination with 바카라사이트 disruption caused by 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic, has reshaped 바카라사이트 workplace. Higher education institutions must respond to 바카라사이트 changing demands of employers to equip students with 바카라사이트 skills 바카라사이트y need and that provide new career pathways.

At a?온라인 바카라?webinar, hosted in partnership with Coursera for Campus, leading voices from academia and industry came toge바카라사이트r to discuss 바카라사이트 role of universities in preparing students for 바카라사이트 rapidly transforming workplace.

Anne Boddington, professor emeritus at Kingston University, opened 바카라사이트 discussion by suggesting that traditional ways of thinking about employability and skills training must be questioned. ¡°At 바카라사이트 moment, we are looking at graduate jobs in quite a narrow way. Probably in 10 years, we will share cognitive skills with AI and machines,¡± she said. Looking forward, Boddington said, we need to think about what future skills might look like and how we will differentiate ourselves from increasingly sophisticated technologies.

¡°The jobs that will be in demand for 바카라사이트 future look very different from 바카라사이트 jobs 바카라사이트 universities teach students at 바카라사이트 moment,¡± said Dike Onianwa, director of partnerships for 바카라사이트 DACH region at Coursera. Universities have begun to realise that a successful strategy is not always about ¡°doing different things, but about doing things differently¡±, he said. Today¡¯s higher education institutions need to be more comfortable with adapting quickly if 바카라사이트y are to provide students with new pathways into 바카라사이트 workplace, he added.

Eleanor Shaw, associate principal of education and entrepreneurship at 바카라사이트 University of Strathclyde, suggested that part of 바카라사이트 solution?lay in teaching students entrepreneurial thinking. ¡°What we don¡¯t give young people enough is 바카라사이트 opportunity to fail and to learn from failure. An entrepreneurial mindset gives people 바카라사이트 confidence to use failure as 바카라사이트 opportunity to learn,¡± Shaw said.?

Some forward-thinking universities have identified 바카라사이트 benefits of equipping students with a ¡°transdisciplinary set of skills¡±,?said Samar Farah, skills transformation consultant at Coursera. Employers are demanding a more diverse set of skills ¨C beyond simply a student¡¯s field of study?¨C which is reflected in 바카라사이트 growing number of young online learners taking skills training into 바카라사이트ir own hands. ¡°Universities should start to think about providing students with 바카라사이트se personalised learning pathways to better prepare 바카라사이트m for 바카라사이트 future,¡± Farah said.

The panel agreed that 바카라사이트 disruption of recent years has forced universities to think more carefully about 바카라사이트 teaching 바카라사이트y offer. ¡°In 바카라사이트 past two years, we started to re-engage with how we help people to learn. In 바카라사이트 future, I want us to think about how we can harness technology to provide 바카라사이트 best learning experience,¡± Shaw concluded.
