Jointly Organised by EVD, CAD, and AMC
Programme
Highlights:
A recent study concluded that today’s
graduating students will change careers (not just jobs, but careers!) at least
six times before they retire. How are
universities preparing students for this requirement for flexibility and
life-long learning? A clear understanding of sustainability concepts and
principles is becoming a staple of the university education process, and is
rooted in the prediction that students with these abilities are more prepared
to succeed in their future careers. Not just for environmentally-minded
students any longer, sustainability is becoming a bridge for science,
engineering, and business students to explore new methods and approaches to
solving some of society’s most pressing problems. This presentation will
explore how the education process is evolving to include broad-based,
skill-oriented training for the future workforce, and how employers can
benefit.
