Joe Boutte's curator insight, May 10, 7:43 AM

What will universities look like, do, or become in order support the workforce for a sustainable future?  This research provides some interest global perspectives on the skills and approaches evolving in higher education based on a paradigm shift known as "Future Skills Turn" .  This is a shift in education that emphasizes the development of skills needed for the future workforce, driven by rapid technological advancements, globalization, and evolving societal needs. This approach focuses on cultivating skills such as critical thinking, creativity, digital literacy, emotional intelligence, and lifelong learning, rather than solely on traditional academic knowledge.


The impacts on higher education include curriculum transformation, technology integration, industry collaboration, and lifelong learning.


This shift not only prepares students for successful careers but also empowers them to make meaningful contributions to a sustainable and equitable world. As we consider the value of current approaches to higher education, this is an important set of perspectives to consider as leaders.

The right skills for the job? Rethinking training policies for workers

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

This book addresses the question of how to build and upgrade job relevant skills. Specifically, the authors focus on three types of training programs relevant for individuals who are either leaving formal general schooling or those who are already in the labor market. The types of employment discussed are pre-employment technical and vocational education and training (TVET); on-the-job training (OJT); and training-related active labor market programs (ALMPs).

Employment in Crisis : The Path to Better Jobs in a Post-COVID-19 Latin America | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
This report proposes a three-pronged mix of policies to improve the LAC region’s responses to crises: • Create a more stable macroeconomic environment to smooth the impacts of crises, including automatic stabilizers such as unemployment insurance and short-term compensation programs; • Increase the capacity of social protection and labor programs to respond to crises and coalesce these programs into systems that complement income support with reemployment assistance and reskilling opportunities; and • Tackle structural issues, including the lack of product market competition and the spatial dimension behind poor labor market adjustment—a “good jobs and good firms” agenda.
