Moving beyond knowledge
Recent skills surveys and job market trends reveal that academic knowledge alone is no longer enough for students to succeed in today’s workplace.
Instead, institutions must reimagine traditional curriculum models to meet modern workplace demands and develop student competencies. But how? Success stories from universities that embed experiential learning in their programs reveal how the approach can be leveraged to address learner skills gaps.
By applying classroom knowledge to real-world contexts, proactive institutions are now expanding their students’ perspectives and supporting them develop the critical competencies they need in the workplace. This enables institutions to not only align graduate outcomes with employer and societal needs—but also boost students’ motivation, confidence and resilience in an ever-changing world.
