AI/ML and Disrupted Futures: Embedding a Future Skills Model Approach

When the future for technical skills for our learners maybe a ‘disrupted’ future, this session focuses on what it means to create a Future Skills Mindset. It will look at how to develop practices in our curriculum delivery for skill development impact, in a future where the industry changes are unknown, and where some roles do not yet exist. It will also include how educators can create curriculum impact with toolkits for beyond the session and straight into impactful learner change.
