The gaps in our education couldn't be ever more evident in our workplaces. If you went through Kibaki's 8-4-4 system you know what we are talking about. Having conversations with parents about the aspirations of their children who are just about to join university leaves us at a loss for words because then, we realize that we have a long way to go. In this age, if you hear someone saying they are studying for the sole purpose of getting a job then understand that our education system is failing and has failed us for a long time. In the past, this was true because education systems sought to pump out "good employees" who are acquiescent and who will stay in those jobs for decades as long as there is a promise of a pension. However, times are changing for the workplace and the skills required from the workforce. Soft skills like critical thinking and problem-solving are highly sought as several qualified individuals on paper lack what is needed to navigate the changing workforce rendering them redundant. That is where we come in. Many graduates struggle after university to get the white-collar job of their dreams. Similarly, many first-year college students struggle to settle on a career that will be fulfilling and fruitful for them. Our training on job preparation and employment life-cycle is imperative to these groups of people as they seek to start their career journeys. ~"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school." Our goal as always is to create an Africa inspired by dignity and where better to start than with your career choice.

Industry placements play a critical role in the students' journey. Russell Gambling's team make this possible. This is the perfect role if you want to impact and use your industry relationship-building skills to help students. #hiring #vocationaleducation #relationshipbuilding

🌏 Three Tips I Wish I Knew Before My SMU Exchange 🌏 Starting my exchange journey at SMU has been an eye-opening experience. For those of you getting ready to join, here are three things I’ve learned that can make your experience even more memorable: 1️⃣ Cultural Immersion is Everything Singapore is a beautiful mix of cultures, and diving into this diversity is one of the best parts of being here. Whether it's enjoying hawker food or celebrating local festivals, stepping out of your comfort zone will make your stay truly special. Trust me, don’t just stick to what’s familiar! 2️⃣ SMU is All About Community The people here are incredibly welcoming, and there are so many ways to get involved! From student clubs to casual events, every interaction has the potential to turn into a friendship or a learning moment. 3️⃣ Be Organized, But Stay Flexible Yes, keeping track of assignments and classes is important, but don’t forget to leave space for the unexpected. Some of the best moments come when you say “yes” to things you hadn’t planned—whether it’s a spontaneous trip or exploring a new hobby. Embrace it all and make the most of your time here. You won’t regret it! 🚀 @smu.geo #SMUExchange

College placement programs play a crucial role in bridging the skills gap and enhancing employability in several ways

Tatoos should increase your employability ⚓️

Yesterday, I learned about a pioneering new initiative that truly represents #levellingup. Anglia Ruskin University now offers a Medical Doctor degree apprenticeship "for aspiring medical doctors who may not have otherwise gone to medical school." As it's a Level 7 apprenticeship, its funding may be at risk, but what better way is there to spend public money than on improving social mobility? This initiative is a testament to policy-driven decision-making aimed at enhancing social mobility. The candidate selection for the current cohort champions diversity and inclusion in terms of gender, ethnicity, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, recognising that these characteristics often impact the ability to access degrees. The course is designed to break down barriers and provide opportunities for all. In my opinion, losing the term "levelling up" was a mistake, as it has never been more relevant and thanks to the efforts of the previous government, now has a widely understood meaning. This initiative is a shining example of what is possible, although it will not be without challenges. Social background should not be a barrier to social mobility, a concept which arguably contributed to Trump's re-election in the United States. Enriched by diversity, the belief in the "American Dream" - the idea that anyone can achieve success through hard work and determination - provides outcomes of better equality and economic prosperity. If you want to improve recruitment and retention within your organisation, reaching this untapped talent by switching to skills based hiring is a great place to start.

Gap years are changing, with more school leavers opting to find a job and gain valuable work experience. With this in mind, overseas school trips are a great opportunity to build character, which in turn will improve their employment prospects.   Here are just some of the ways in which educational school trips and expeditions develop students: ·        Improve their ability to adapt to different environments ·        Learn to work as part of a team ·        Leadership skills ·        Opportunity to improve language skills in real life situations ·        Understanding the importance of local resources and sustainable practices In an increasingly competitive labour market, these extra-curricular experiences can provide young candidates with attributes that help them stand out during the recruitment process.

I'm continually inspired by the power of diverse perspectives in shaping transformative learning experiences. Ensuring that our education abroad programs reflect and grab Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is not just a goal but a responsibility we owe to our students and communities. Why EDI Matters in Education Abroad: Equity: Every student should have access to international opportunities, regardless of their background or financial situation. Removing barriers and providing support ensures all students can benefit from the rich, educational experiences abroad. Diversity: A diverse group of students traveling together enhances learning by exposing them to a variety of viewpoints and cultural insights. This diversity fosters empathy, understanding, and collaboration on a global scale. Inclusion: Creating inclusive environments abroad means actively addressing and accommodating different needs. From accessible programs to culturally sensitive support, inclusion ensures that all students feel valued and respected. Let's continue to build bridges that connect all students to the world, making international education a truly inclusive experience. #EducationAbroad #EquityInEducation #DiversityAndInclusion #GlobalLearning #InclusiveEducation #StudyAbroad #EDIMatters
