Panel Presentation LTG157
Learning for Future Skills
Date Thursday, Nov 28 Time – Room Check
Building the skills of the workforce for tomorrow is no longer possible using just an annual curriculum and schedule of classroom training. Today, these have to be carefully targeted at what's suitable for students and institutions and organisations and employees. Fortunately, we have data and systems that enable us to do that. In this session we hear how data can be used both in Higher Education to prepare graduates for work, and look at how smart automation can be used to re-skill employees fast when a company's way of working changes.
