• How should we proceed for improvement••

8Role of universities for the 21st Century• Universities will change to meet the demands of a new
globalized knowledge-based economy• Universities must teach students how to use and apply
information creatively rather than rely on simple
memorization• Typically leading institutions, professors do not simply teachcurrent knowledge but also advance the knowledge taught
around the world• We must embrace non-traditional students and new methodsof teaching and shift to learner-centric education withindividualized content and a focus on entrepreneurship tohelp support the society of the future
9Role of universities for the 21st Century• University is not the place for teaching but it isa learning space in a more flexible way andmore motivated context• MOOCs and Flipped Classroom will direct
development of education in the ICT Age• Universities have to prepare students for jobs
that do not yet exist, now teaching global
perspectives, resilience and creativity
10Role of universities for the 21st Century• HR development and innovation creation will help
ensure that university can compete globally andcontinue to grow into the future• In the US, 85% of the learners are now nontraditional, meaning that they do not attend 4-yearcollege on a full term basis and may not be the agedof 18-22, they fail to address needs of the majority• Even as learners are changing, so are the skills theyrequire to succeed in today’s market• Nowadays, students want customization andpersonalized higher education
11

Role of universities for the 21st Century• To deliver this, universities can shift to learnercentric perspective instead of teacher-centric one,offering individualized content- MOOCs alone are nopanacea, learners also want value and outcomes• They want jobs and universities want employability• Universities can better serve their students by fully
integrating classroom experience and work
experience• They need to develop relationships and skills that willserve them in their careers• Students can not afford to wait until graduation
before they enter the workplace

Employability• To find a solution for the education leaders toproduce graduates with the rightcompetencies to satisfy the labor market• To focus on how education sector will join
hand with industries to deliver the right skills
for the students as well as the study and workbalance in order to design the right curriculum
for the future25

Employability: Three main points• High quality education, especially digital skills,
needs to match skills that labor market needs• PPP is a key to reform employability skills• Students must focus on emerging sectors anddevelop soft skills such as creativity, problem
solving and empathy in parallel
26

Employability in a World Today• Faced a problem of youth unemployment of 73 million
despite 30 million is looking for jobs and 8 million jobs left
vacant each year
• The reason is there is a mismatch in skill forces (digitaland soft skill gap) and mismatch in talents• It is estimated that 6 out of 10 youngsters will work in job
that is not exist today• Number of jobs will be created to serve the aging trend,….
• Number of jobs will be on robotics, green energy,
healthcare informatics and nuclear/nano technology
which will be a threat as they require high-skill workers
27

Employability in a World Today• Demography:- We will have shortfall of students and workers in
different countries but in some countries like India,
there will be plenty- the world needs openness of nations to accommodate
an increase in mobility• Sociology: we need to adapt fostering mobility anddiversity because in labor market, GEN X/Y is now 76%,
GEN Z is 16% and Baby Boomer accounts for only 8%28

Recommendation for Students: Focus on
emerging sectors, soft-skills and mobility• Capitalize on the opportunities of the global
economy– Focus on STEM, healthcare and creative disciplines– Skill up for the digital age– Search for work experiences– Search for international experiences– Focus on multilingualism– Nurture international network
29

Recommendation for Education System:

Alignment with business and focus on new skills• Evolution needs:– Enhance corporation and alignment with business– Direct students toward the fastest developing
sectors– Focus on digital skills– Focus on development of specific human skills– Foster development of soft-skills and experienceinternship/apprenticeship schemes– Foster international mobility– Focus on multilingualism
30

Recommendation for Regulators(Government)• Education system reform, simple labor markets andprivate-public cooperation• Demographic and skill storage– Education reform to develop employable skills andmatch business needs, apprenticeship model– Promotion of STEM careers and disciplines– Cooperation with private parties– Boost openness• Economic growth and job creation– Simplify labor regulation– Reduce taxes on labor– Develop knowledge hubs

31

Recommendation for Organization• Lifelong learning, inclusive and diverseflexibility• Global competitiveness and economic
instability- Contingent workforce based on economy
and life cycle- Foster mobility- Investment in technology and hyperconnectivity
32

Four issues of concern foremployability• Candidate Values: Organizational Culture isimportant• Soft Skills: Intercommunication, Ethics andRisk Management• Cross Cultural Skill• Language: Good Command of English
