Colleges across the country develop new tactics to keep up with the ever-changing labour market

The British Columbia Institute of Technology’s legion military skills program applies veterans’ knowledge and skills toward college programs.Colleges have long proven nimble in the face of disruption, but they’re now becoming more aggressive in their attempts to create the right offerings for a changing job market.

That system has proven resilient, but as Franklin notes, “in some subjects nowadays, especially science and engineering, the pace of change is so quick that students can be out-of-date the day after they graduate.” Electromechanical engineering, which sits at the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence, is one of the fastest-changing fields of study.Yet McKnight has found that he’s been able to repackage existing skills – from sales experience to working in a manufacturing environment – and apply them to his new field of study.

“One of the biggest barriers is time,” says Wainwright. “The average age of college students is older than undergraduate schools, and many students have families, lives, they don’t have time to take years out for school.”

Tis a fact of life - and affects everyone in the developed world. Always has, always will. The world & society changes over time and 'you' need to adapt - from personal skills to resources/industries a region depends on. Denial & protest just increases the adverse impact.

'Electromechanical engineering, which sits at the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence, is one of the fastest-changing fields of study.'...Yes, makes perfect sense. Create a robot to take your job. GLOBALIST DYSTOPIAN BS.
