So far, their educational pathway has been clear and known. What\u2019s much less certain is the shape of the learning that has still to come as their careers unfold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Executive education and professional and job-specific training have always been part of the employment picture. However, in most cases, there came a point at which the heavy lifting around qualifications stopped. Now, the speed of workplace change is turning this on its head. Those keen to stay in employment up to retirement age will have to upskill like never before if they want to hold on to their jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">This sounds pretty stark but it\u2019s a reality that has already hit home to one worker in the financial services sector. In his 40s (with a good primary degree but no further qualifications), he\u2019s out of a job because his back-office role has been erased over the last year by technology and, specifically,\u00a0AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Just how fast things are changing is reflected in one statistic from the latest dive into the future of lifelong learning by higher education consultants, Carrington Crisp, which works with third-level institutions around the world including TCD, UCC, University of Ulster and the Atlantic Technological University in Ireland. It shows that the skills employees need for a given position have shifted by about 25 per cent since 2015 and this is expected to double by 2027, raising questions about the value of traditional linear qualifications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Time was the acquisition of the knowledge that underpins commercial life followed as predictable a pattern as the Leaving Cert. Certain postgraduate qualifications were considered essential if you wanted to get on in certain careers. What is changing is that employers are less willing to wait around for people to finish long courses. Instead, they want education and training with immediate impact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">This doesn\u2019t spell the end for the heavy hitters among business qualifications, such as the MBA, but it has implications for how these courses are delivered, says Carrington Crisp director Andrew Crisp. While universities and business schools still have much to offer, he says that offer needs to reflect how demand is changing, how delivery is shifting and what learners want and when.<\/p>\n<div id=\"arcad-feature-f0fuQba8T6Jr6YD-3-4-3-156b844a04493f\" class=\"default__StyledAdUnit-sc-1moicrg-0 lhWBCq arcad-feature flex breakout\">\n<div class=\"arcad-container width_100\">\n<div id=\"arcad_f0fuQba8T6Jr6YD-3-4-3-156b844a04493f\" class=\"arcad ad-728x90 flex flex_justify_center\" data-google-query-id=\"CKbl-8uW0YYDFZuYUAYdcmMNbw\">\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cNew business models are putting the emphasis on value, speed and technology. Learning and development can\u2019t ignore these trends,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cIn the future, learning is more likely to be a \u2018journey\u2019 and not the destination it used to be when people more or less stopped education in their mid-20s. It\u2019s likely to comprise a series of different qualifications from different providers across different platforms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cEmployers are looking for varied qualifications \u2013 some of which may not even be considered qualifications in the traditional sense \u2013 but which address an immediate need. So, someone starts a course on a Monday and by Friday they\u2019re implementing what they\u2019ve learned,\u201d Crisp says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cFor example, familiarity with emerging technologies and technology skills is becoming critically important because of the pace of change. I\u2019m not saying employees need to rush off and qualify as top-notch technology experts, but they will need sufficient knowledge to be able to speak the language if it\u2019s relevant for their job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">While about three in 10 employers have supported employees to follow degree programmes (such as MBAs) in the last two years, the Carrington Crisp report shows that degree participation rates lag other forms of employee education such as industry-specific certifications, short non-degree programmes and customised courses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">About 20 per cent of employers say they have embraced \u201cmicro credentials\u201d (short bursts of learning on a particular topic)m a figure that looks surprisingly low given their supposed growing popularity. However, Crisp says this is more to do with the lack of a universal definition around what type of learning comes under this new heading.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Micro credentials don\u2019t usually come with any specific academic qualification beyond a certificate of completion. However, this doesn\u2019t seem to bother employers, Crisp says, as long as the piece of paper comes from a well-recognised academic \u201cbrand\u201d with a reputation for quality teaching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">\u201cDegrees aren\u2019t about to disappear but the diversity of qualifications is likely to grow. Everything from certificates of completion to digital badges, CPD and professional credentials will be part of the future qualifications landscape,\u201d Crisp says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Sticking with the theme of learning for now as well as for the future, former chief executive turned leadership expert David Novak has just released a new book (published by Harvard Business Review Press) called How Leaders Learn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">In his view, the secret to leadership success (based on his own experience and from talking to hundreds of business leaders for his How Leaders Lead podcast) is putting learning at the centre of everything. Novak uses the term \u201cactive learning\u201d and says that when the chips are down, it\u2019s the characteristic that differentiates the world\u2019s most successful leaders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">Active learners seek out ideas and insights and pair them with action and execution. Getting there involves mastering three behaviours, Novak says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-1nhbny4-0 gVsmvl body-paragraph paywall\">The first is to learn from anyone and any experience with something interesting or valuable to offer. The second is to maintain an open, curious mind and strong interpersonal relationships because we learn most from others. The third is to learn by doing the things that need doing or have the potential to make the biggest difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2024\u00a0Leaving Cert\u00a0is in full swing and for thousands of students this is a significant qualification that will play a big part in determining how they join the world of work.
