Are you future ready? Preparing students for living and working in a digital world 3
Context“Businesses look first and foremost for graduates with the right attitudes and aptitudes to enable them to be effective in the workplace – nearly nine in ten employers (89%) value these above factors such as degree subject (62%)”
“Managers, entrepreneurs, and business executives must have e-competences to grow, export and be connected to the global digital markets. In a digital economy, e-leadership skills are essential.”
CBI/Pearson Education and Skills Survey 2015 (CBI / Pearson, 2015)
