In a world of AI, machine learning and net-zero technology, high level technical skills are in demand, but there is a huge job skills gap. Specialised vocational and technical courses are a potential solution. Countries are increasingly looking at short-cycle tertiary education programmes to help people develop real-world skills for sectors like health, IT and advanced manufacturing. How can education leaders ensure these schemes are effective and equip students with the skills employers need?
In this webinar, experts will analyse the design and delivery of effective higher technical education programmes. The discussion will also focus on how to improve practical post-secondary programmes to open new doors for students and adult learners alike. The conversation will reflect and build on insights from the recent OECD report 'Higher Technical Education in England, United Kingdom: Insights from Selected International Experience'.
Speakers: Stewart Butler, Policy Analyst, OECD; Mats Kihlman, Head of Department for HVE, School of Engineering, Jönköping University.
