Full Description:: We may not be able to predict what new knowledge our graduates will engage with in the workplaces of the future...and in their other roles as community members and global citizens. But, we can foresee at least some aspects of how they will be using knowledge in new ways, by examining emerging developments in the nature of work.

Join Dr Thomas Carey as he discusses how to use these insights to explore how our teaching and learning practices can better prepare learners - and educators! - to engage with and shape the future of work. The illustrations will come from several initiatives in North America which are testing new ways to reframe the ‘work of learning’ in higher education as a testbed for developing skills for Future Employability.
