How can universities equip students with the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed in a job market that is ever-changing and increasingly difficult to forecast?

In this video podcast, she discusses how the institution has achieved a 98 per cent success rate for graduates in employment or further study, the benefits of bringing together students from different disciplines, upskilling everyone in the use of artificial intelligence, and why US university leaders need a joined-up strategy for communicating the value of higher education.
