“ArdorComm - Education Leadership Symposium” - A RoundTable Meet
Event Theme: Preparing Students for the Future of Work: Essential Skills for the 21st Century
#ELS2024 #ELSChennai #EducationLeadershipSymposium
In today’s rapidly evolving workplace, graduates must be equipped with essential 21st-century skills to thrive. As automation, artificial intelligence, and global connectivity reshape industries, the demands on higher education institutions (HEIs) are shifting. Technical expertise alone is no longer sufficient. Higher education must prioritize fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability to enable students to navigate an uncertain and dynamic future. Moreover, competencies such as communication, collaboration, and emotional intelligence are indispensable for success in diverse, interdisciplinary work environments. As the digital economy expands, HEIs must also focus on digital literacy, data interpretation, and the capacity for continuous learning to prepare students for a career of lifelong adaptation and growth. Through a reimagined approach, higher education can better prepare students to remain competitive and resilient in a rapidly changing global workforce.
The upcoming “ArdorComm – Education Leadership Symposium” – A RoundTable Meet on 6th December in Chennai, we are inviting senior leadership from the education fraternity to have a meaningful brainstorming session.
