27

March

2024

One of the most consequential yet unexamined developments in higher education is the evolution of what future-readiness means for both institutions and students. In this Executive Briefing, the panellists will evaluate the impact of AI and changes in the workplace on student employability, delving into the key changes that the higher education industry is expected to undertake as a result.

Then, they will explore key infrastructural enablers including technology and innovation management, faculty development, new products and business models. The panellists will then present a framework to define this crucial concept as a key, practical takeaway document for institutions to consider and use.
