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.
