Will US universities be made redundant by the employability agenda?

The danger is that a youngster taking this path may find that when they move on from the original company they have gaps in their knowledge that might make them less attractive to other employers. The UK Degree Apprenticeship scheme - and Capgemini is one of the pioneer companies, working with Aston University to qualify their staff with a full BSc in Digital & Technology Solutions - where the students graduate with a full degree in Computer Science and Business, slanted towards Capgemini's needs, but with sufficient general Computer Science to be able to turn their hand to other things, addresses that issue. The degree is delivered by distance learning, apart from an initial coding bootcamp, so students can contribute to their employers' work (other companies having joined Capgemini in sending students on this course) and earn whilst they learn. It's also excellent for small companies, who don't have the resources to organise training schemes on their own, perhaps they only need a handful of computer specialists.

This is hot topic! How can Corporate purpose be measured is a leading question which has two different answers depending upon whether the question is addressed to University Students or Graduates in Employment. Whichever it is you get two different answers as Graduates in Employment are looking for real-time programmes that connect with their specific form of employment and their role in the organization. University Students do not have the reality of a working environment in order to achieve company useful results. Graduates in Employment are tasked with tackling a real-time problem in a company or corporate situation. Graduates and others are tasked with a real-time problem using previous learning and practical experience, and this is where the Real-Time Learning takes place and is what is assessed as an indication of their managerial real-time learning that is used by the organization to further its aims and objectives. This is a highly confidential result that is retained by the company as it moves forward. Companies who design and deliver this type of learning are specially retained to keep all information confidential to the company. The progression from University to corporate learning is therefore a significant step with different objectives and consequences.

Whatever happen to a rounded education agenda?
