Skills of the Future from International Policy Perspectives: Bridging the Skills Gap

Join us for an in-depth examination of the current skills gap predicament confronting both business and educational institutions. Delve into the origins of this challenge, exploring the factors that have given rise to its existence. A focal point of our discussion will be the primary catalysts driving change, particularly in the context of global and national industrial revolutions and their profound impact on higher education.

The event will shed light on ongoing efforts and propose future actions required to bridge the skills gap effectively. In a world where organizations strive to progress, stay competitive, and integrate rapidly advancing digital technologies, understanding and addressing this gap becomes paramount.

Attendees will gain insights into the strategies employed and those yet to be implemented to narrow the skills gap, aligning with organizational needs. Additionally, we will explore future visions and international policy initiatives from key organizations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), European Commission (EC), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Their recommendations for cultivating in-demand and yet-to-be-developed skills will be highlighted, providing a roadmap for individuals and institutions aiming to bridge the gap and meet the evolving demands of the future.
