Ep 7. Bridging the gap between university and real world

This past week at the Australian Edutech Conference, Shirley Alexander from University of Technology Sydney gave a captivating talk on how to prepare work-ready graduates in 2018.

Students graduating from university today are likely to be out of a job in their first 6 to 12 months from graduation. More than ever before. Of course, this would be the most de-moralising experience for a student who’s invested years of his or her life acquiring a degree, only to find out they’re not walking into a job in their field like they expected to or that they were told they would by family, peers or previous high school teachers. Shirley puts this down to two things: A lack of interpersonal and communication skills A lack of care in creating applications specific to a particular role
