Transformation needs to happen within Higher Education to ensure that there isn’t  a broadening gap with market requirements. Higher Education needs to also review its own business models to keep up with the pace.The ‘disruptors’ of the traditional education model, such as tech boot camps, are offering training that is more practical and project-based. Consider ways to work together with these boot camps that provide such technical skills.Organisations and universities can leverage the future skills in workplaces by working together. Even though they operate very differently, hence the rise of third-parties like boot camps, it’s important to be patient, clear on each other’s expectations and establish a partnership of learning.Chapters:(00:00:00) Introduction.(00:01:56) Why Higher Education is rethinking the way its working with industries.(00:04:30) Working with the ‘disruptors’ of Higher Education.(00:07:27) Bootcamps versus university short courses.(00:15:00) Advice for organisations who are considering working with universities.(00:17:54) Innovation labs at universities.(00:20:15) Exploring the different learning styles across programs.(00:23:01) How would Warren like to see the development of future skills in workplaces.Links from the podcast  Connect with Warren Kennard on LinkedIn
