The skills gap and current solutions
Context
Employers vs. Graduates
Is there a “Skills Gap”?

declining degree completion rates
“non-traditional” students: 73% PSE enrolment
high youth unemployment
critical skills shortages affecting productivity
rising cost of higher education
World of Work: volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous
Traditional educational approaches can’t keep up!

The future of jobs
World Economic Forum: Future Of Jobs 2016
Across nearly all industries, the
impact of technological and other
changes is shortening the shelf-life
of employees’ existing skill sets.
Overall, social skills—such as
persuasion, emotional intelligence
and teaching others—will be in
higher demand across industries
than narrow technical skills
Top 10 Skills in 2020
1. Complex problem solving
2. Critical thinking
3. Creativity
4. People management
5. Coordinating with others
6. Emotional intelligence
7. Judgment & decision making
8. Service orientation
9. Negotiation
10.Cognitive flexibility

Experiential learning in BC
PSE: Expand co-op, apprenticeship, internship,
and other workplace opportunities…
PSE: Create communication channels for employers
to communicate skills needs…
Governments: Fund additional programs in target disciplines…
Employers: Make workplace experiential learning a priority by developing an HR
strategy for employee renewal and growth
Individuals: Seek out workplace experience opportunities, including co-op,
internships, mentoring, and volunteering, to gain practical experience and
workplace skills.

Key findings about non-completion:
1. Many non-completers had significant earnings gains
2. Economic value: content vs. credential
3. Non-completers are “non-traditional” students
4. Unknown factor: value of 3rd party credentials
Study: Program non-completion stats miss the point!

Trends in professional credentialing
Use technology to:
•reduce waste (paper, effort)
•increase quality
Re-use credential information for:
•onboarding
•HR planning
•performance review
•accreditation
•Quality Assurance, systemic analysis
Enable continuous credentialing

Paper silos: Issues with certification today
freedesignfile.com/92259
Transparency issues
• “Dumb” paper often needs other
documents, e.g. syllabus
• Proxy only – not the whole story
• Easy to forge
Physical issues
• Difficult to share, easy to lose
Recognition issues
• Lack of granularity
• Lack of context - no links to supporting
evidence
• Experiential learning not valued
• Lack of alignment, transfer,
articulation, “stackability”

“micro-portfolios”
Open Badges
Clear progress markers
 motivating learners, supporting advisors
Flexible learning pathways
 granular, incremental, multi-source, laddered,
remixable
Visual branding
 issuers and earners
Online trust system
 demonstrate skills & capabilities
 proof of performance
 backed by issuer
A digital representation of an accomplishment, interest or affiliation that is visual, available online and
contains metadata including trusted links that help explain the context, meaning, process and result of an
activity.
As an open artefact, the earner can present the badge in different contexts from which it was earned.

This is important in business because it engages professionals in the collective purpose, goals and targets of the business and is imperative for the execution of successful strategies. Collaboration is an essential part of teamwork. Collaboration is the ability to proactively promote synergy in the production of work products within teams and across internal and external networks. This includes stimulating relationships in order to promote collaborative outcomes, knowledge sharing and goal attainment. Collaboration is essential to develop a shared understanding within a professional team in order to guide strategic effort and ensure business objectives are met. At an Advanced level of Collaboration the focus is on promoting and leading collaborative effort to achieve strategic outcomes. This Collaboration credential is offered at the DeakinDigital Advanced level and forms part of the ‘Teamwork’ Graduate Learning Outcome. Digital Literacy (Advanced) $495.00 Digital Literacy is an essential skill for effective participation in today’s fast paced digital world. Digital literacy is important for businesses due to their reliance on digital technology for all aspects of their operations and their drive for innovation and productivity.

Digital Literacy is necessary in order to be engaged in new digital tools and facilities to identify, access, manage, integrate and evaluate digital resources and construct new knowledge. At the Advanced level of Digital literacy the focus is on monitoring, analysing, reporting and researching global ICT trends and identifying where the organisation needs to respond to new ICT opportunities or threats, and about developing suitable governance for ICT.
