🎓 Attracting Top Talent in Higher Education 🎓 The higher education sector is more competitive than ever. Universities and colleges are vying for the best minds to drive innovation and academic excellence. But what are the challenges and how can we overcome them? One major challenge is the increasing demand for specialised skills. With the rapid evolution of technology and interdisciplinary studies, institutions need experts who can bridge gaps and foster collaboration. To attract such talent, it's crucial to offer continuous professional development opportunities and a supportive environment that encourages research and innovation. Another hurdle is the global competition. Top talent is not confined to one region; they have opportunities worldwide. Offering competitive salaries and benefits is essential, but so is creating a culture that values diversity and inclusion. This not only attracts international talent but also enriches the academic community. Lastly, the reputation of the institution plays a significant role. Building a strong employer brand through transparent communication, showcasing success stories and engaging with alumni can make a huge difference. It's about creating a narrative that potential candidates want to be a part of. ❓ What strategies have you found effective in attracting top talent in higher education?

Graduate employability skills required by employers are constantly shifting, and the latest (2024) QS Global Employer Survey data has some really interesting insights. University graduates are stepping into a world that demands not only academic qualifications but also an array of specific, transferable skills. The QS Global Employer Survey 2024 highlights that while technical skills and academic achievements remain important, employers increasingly prioritise skills that enable graduates to adapt, think critically, and communicate effectively. Among the surveyed employers, dissatisfaction was particularly pronounced in the areas of: problem solving, communication and resilience & flexibility/adaptability. These were in fact the top three graduate skills deficits in the APAC region. We have developed new microcredentials to teach students all three of these skills, to be showcased at the QS Quacquarelli Symonds HE Summit: APAC 2024 in Macau next month by Shelly Maller and myself.
