Our mission is to work with educational institutions to develop educational
solutions to support today’s learners. This will be achieved through activities,
which include the strategic design and delivery of interactive and engaging
programmes of study through to small online skills based learning courses (eg
MOOCs), or through active support of and advice about an institutions’
innovation and change agenda. Examples of our specific areas of activity can be
found here. Background The journey of today’s learners in the 21st century needs
to reflect a world where shifting job roles and new technologies will impact
significantly on career development. This is underpinned by current estimates
about new millenials: They are estimated to work in some 15 to 20 job roles over
their lifetime, The majority expect to work beyond 65 years of age (and 12%
until they die), It is estimated that 65% of today’s school children will work
in a job that doesn’t yet exist. Having the necessary skills and up to date
knowledge and understanding to underpin multiple job roles over a lifetime will
require a commitment to lifelong learning. With increasing state pension ages
and average life expectancy worldwide this drives the need for educational
solutions to support individuals gaining access to the right job roles and
career development. Traditional models of higher education are increasingly
costly for learners in developed markets and short of supply (and out of reach
in terms of price) for learners in emerging economies. Innovative solutions are
needed.
