Future Skills - The Future of Higher Education and the Future of Learning (2022)

Future Skills in a nutshell

This report is an executive summary of the NextSkills study on the topic of Future Skills. The starting point is the realization that current higher education is not yet able to provide sufficient future concepts to meet the urgent challenges of our society. As part of the NextSkills study, 17 Future Skills profiles were constructed on the basis of in-depth interviews and assessments by experts surveyed worldwide, which are of particular importance for future university graduates. The article summarizes which skills are involved and how they relate to each other. In addition, the study identified four development strands that will have a strong influence on the future development of university profiles. These are also presented in the article.
