Impacts on Student Education
Impacts on Graduates • Less connection between qualification and career suitability • Development of Transferable Skills becoming more central to educational experience • A need for the education sector to reconsider qualifications and the presentation of skills, knowledge and behavioural attributes.
Graduates in the Workforce 1. Traditional Information Technology polices have the potential to cripple an organization and will be a significant factor in staff attrition. 2. Organizational Knowledge Management systems need to empower end-users. 3. Professional Development policies need to provide avenues ‘radical innovation’
