Assisting Students to Identify Meaningful Career Opportunities
Research tells us that today’s students will likely experience 17 different jobs and five careers during their lifetime. A single job or career is unlikely. New disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation are infiltrating the workplace to reshape jobs. Globalization will also force students to engage in different ways and collaborate across national boundaries.
Getting ready for the evolving job industry
Whilst the world of work is rapidly transforming, many jobs will become obsolete and new jobs will be created, some even by our own students. Students will need skills for multiple jobs and possible careers to confidently navigate the world of work.
Industry engaged Education
Universities have been educating students for decades, developing discipline knowledge and professional skills. Yet students often find it difficult to express the skills they have developed, often because opportunities to showcase them are not provided or because there are not enabled to assess and articulate the value of skills developed in the learning context. However, for students to thrive personally and professionally, they need a better sense of self, and a greater degree of flexibility and adaptability than ever before. They need a new mindset. A mindset reflecting a global citizen’s commitment to develop a professional future aligned with their personal values, professional aspirations and societal outlook. A mindset that doesn’t focus on one dream job, but instead prepares them for several jobs.
