Overview
The next generation of students is on the horizon - are universities ready?
As Gen Z transitions to Generation Alpha, the higher education sector must adapt to the evolving expectations, digital habits, and career aspirations of tomorrow’s students. The rapid transformation of the student experience, the world of work, and technological advances demands that institutions rethink their approach to student engagement and employability.
Join us for this thought-provoking webinar with Dr Paul Redmond, a leading expert on generational trends and the future of work and chaired by Naomi Abayasekara, Policy Adviser, Universities UK.
Dr Redmond will explore the key challenges and opportunities facing universities as they navigate a changing landscape. He will also introduce his three “killer apps” for preparing students for a “CHATaclysmic” future—where businesses are launched from laptops, attention spans are shrinking, and traditional careers give way to flexible, portfolio-driven work.
This session is essential for higher education professionals looking to stay ahead of the curve.
