The Future of Learning
In a world where the rapid pace of technology change is affecting all industries, the way we learn and adapt to that change is fundamental to a successful future. It is critical that we prepare students for an uncertain and rapidly changing future, but also engage with business leaders to help them to adapt and thrive and support staff to meet the challenges of technology driven change.
