Navigating the Evolving Job Market: Insights from Stakeholders. A fortnight ago, key stakeholders from the Academia, Industry, Students/Alumni and Policy makers convened to tackle a pressing question: Are graduates truly prepared for the rapidly changing job market? Major forum takeaways: 1. Industry expectations vs. Academic preparation: Employers seek skills beyond just the academic qualifications and courses. They seek the 21st Century skills ( critical thinking, digital literacy problem solving etc) 2. Work experience matters: 3-5 years of practical experience is crucial for success. As such, students must take advantage of internship opportunities. 3. University-industry collaboration: Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application by inviting industry players to mentor and coach students on key issues relevant to the various fields of study. In a nutshell, the forum highlighted the need for: - Curriculum refinement, - Strategic industry partnerships, and - Enhanced stakeholder engagement Let's work together to equip graduates for success! Share your thoughts on preparing graduates for the workforce. #JobMarketEvolution #StakeholderEngagement #GraduatePreparedness #IndustryAcademiaCollaboration #D-HUB
