Competency Design and Assessment Workshop Series

Technological advances and globalisation brings tremendous opportunities for human advancement. It also brings societal challenges through increasing economic inequalities, job uncertainty, shifiting global migration patterns, the need to dissolve humanitarian crises and rebuild social capital. As the impact of global warming and climate change becomes more visible, creative solutions and innovative projects are required to address the ever increasing 21st century challenges. Facing these unprecedented challenges and opportunities, university graduates today require an education that not only gives them a sound knowledge skill-set, they also need to know how to collaborate with others from different disciplines and cultures, in a way that solves complex problems and in doing so, create economic and social value. Of critical importance is the preparation of graduates for an era of unprecedented complexity that will change the world of work as we know it today. The Competency Design and Assessment Workshop Series was offered to higher education and industry professionals. For more information and access to workshop materials kindly contact me directly. An expression of interest is invited to individuals to partner and collaborate through participating in an international Focus Interest Group towards building expertise and sharing resources across industry and educational sectors.
