Join Nannette Ripmeester (Director Expertise in Labour Mobility, Etio) for her session about “Preparing for the Global World of Work – a perspective from Europe and Canada” on October 29th, 12:00 PM to 17:00 PM, at Tunghai University in Taiwan.
About the session:
“The world of work is undergoing major shifts. This session will look at key trends impacting young people across the globe. Nannette Ripmeester will share the outcomes of research conducted in Europe (Erasmus+ projects) and Canada (funded by the Canadian government) to help us understand the impact of student mobility on skills. Understanding the importance of employability skills is critical for students as it will help to understand what skills will get them hired. However, it is also imperative for higher education institutions as it helps to understand study choice and student recommendation better. Based on a global data set of over 122,500 students, Nannette will showcase the importance of creating a ‘line of sight’ between education and future jobs. Return on investment (ROI) is fundamental for this generation of students, who make choices based on how well it prepares them for the (future) job market. Highlighting what other countries are doing in this respect is the stepping stone for a Q&A session between speaker and audience.”
