You can’t predict the future. Technology is advancing so rapidly we have no idea how our world will be organized in 20 years.” Students entering school today will end up in jobs that don’t even exist today. How can we prepare them for jobs that don’t exist yet. Essentially, each of these statements asks: “How are we ever going to prepare students for such a VUCA future??” If students need to be prepared to flourish in an unpredictable future.... Focus on your strengths, unique perspectives, and interests. Participate in experiences through which you can apply interests to creatively solve problems. Don't shut the door on any opportunity. " Sign me in for anything that comes your way" is his mantra to keep experiences in the learning process. Thank you Girish C. Ballolla for your wonderful, humorous and authentic key note sharing for The Orchid School higher education fair. It was lovely to have team Gen Next Education, Inc.

The Ongoing Academia Vs Industry Debate: "Arena Bioworks’ recruitment strategy is not just impacting universities, but it is also creating a disruption in traditional institutions. By offering part of the revenue generated by the companies it spawns as compensation, Arena Bioworks is potentially reducing reliance on university technology transfer and venture capital outlays." #industryacademia #innovation #technologytransfer #biomedicalresearch #recruitment https://lnkd.in/dYuZxqXs

How many of you get emotionally attached to the thesis work or postdoc work? Well, when I was working on my main project during my PhD, I felt this is the only thing which is utmost significant in this world. I was emotionally attached to it to the point, I wanted to keep pursuing my research in the same area for the rest of my life. I was so much engrossed in only contributing to my project or thesis that I gave away any opportunity to learn about anything else. I used to miss some of the talks by the external speakers in the University specially the ones that were not focused on academics (a big big mistake). I thought it is better to put whatever time I had, in my thesis work because "It Needs Me". You see any problem in my thinking here? It blocked me from thinking about my future goals, about the kind of life and career that I would like to build after my PhD, and it restricted me from talking to people outside academia. For me it was all about "My project" If some information is not regarding my project, then it would sound irrelevant to me at times and I would not pay any heed. Do you do the same? If yes, stop right now! PhD and Postdoc serve as a preparation ground to learn to solve problems. They are not about your "project". They are about principles behind conducting a research and honing your research acumen. Lay your emphasis on the training and skill development during this period and not just restrict your focus on your project only. This is one grave mistake that makes your journey after PhD or Postdoc rather difficult. Train in the right way and reap the benefits later!

Excited to share the findings from my latest project on employment outcomes of engineering graduates! 🎓💼 Thanks to Innomatics Research Labs and my guide Kanav Bansal for providing me with the opportunity to work on this insightful project. Through comprehensive data analysis, we gained valuable insights into the factors influencing salary levels and employment prospects among engineering graduates. Key findings include: - Understanding the distribution of salaries among graduates and identifying influential factors such as educational qualifications, demographic characteristics, and geographical variations. - Exploring gender disparities in employment outcomes and their implications for career planning and policy interventions. - Recommendations for graduates, policy makers, and educational institutions to enhance employment prospects and reduce disparities. Find my work here in my GitHub Repo: https://lnkd.in/gfF3C34U Stay tuned for the full report detailing our findings and recommendations! 📊🔍 #DataAnalysis #EmploymentOutcomes #EngineeringGraduates #InnomaticsResearchLab

There are 8 major challenges that PhDs face in building meaningful careers in which they can thrive. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 1) Inconsistent messaging 2) Saturated academic market 3) Inequitable pay 4) Deadweight loss 5) Inadequate career services 6) Missed opportunities 7) Negative public perception 8) Cost burden But I'm not here to bash universities or to complain. Quite the opposite! David Giltner and I have spent the last 5 months articulating the problems in detail, and coming up with practical, actionable solutions that do not require bureaucratic processes or political change. In the article published today on Trulitica Learning, David and I provide an overview of the problems, the current state of affairs, and how universities can partner with the private sector to create win-win situations for themselves and their stakeholders. 👉If you are a university dean or administrator, please read the article and reach out to us. We want to work with you. 👉If you are a student or postdoc, please also read the article and share this post with as many people as you can. Together we can make a positive impact. ***The article is linked in the comments. Please like the article, so the algorithm doesn't bury it as an external link. 👍

#Arkansas aims to create a hub of biomanufacturing talent with a new program led by the University of Arkansas (U of A). In as little as two weeks, Arkansans can earn a biomanufacturing micro-credential which can qualify them for jobs earning between $50,000 to $60,000 a year. “Northwest Arkansas is a fast-growing, vibrant economy attracting world-class talent with our art and culinary amenities, and outdoor recreation opportunities,” says Tobias Teeter, director of U of A’s Collaborative. “However, our region is underrepresented in the biotech sector. We want to offer our community high-paying career opportunities in this sector.” The Collaborative is both a physical space and an innovation center, education, and research initiative that works with northwest Arkansas industries located in Bentonville, 30 miles north of the main campus. Teeter joined forces with Tara Dryer, Ed.D., PMP, senior managing director of the U of A Global Campus Professional and Workforce Development, to create the university’s first program of its kind – the BioAR Train Biomanufacturing Workforce Initiative (BTBWI). The duo received a federal grant of close to a half million dollars through the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration’s 2023 STEM Talent Challenge. The university is providing more than a half million dollars in matching funds. Increasing the development of bio-industry credentials is a national priority. In Arkansas, the importance of biomanufacturing is two-fold, according to Teeter – it is one of the fastest growing segments of biotech and med tech industries and is part of the fast-growing class of life-saving medicines. Academia, workforce development, and companies want to be a part of this effort. “We have Arkansas-based private equity and venture capital investing in biomanufacturing companies from around the world, including SymBiosis Capital Management here in Bentonville,” Teeter says. “As their discoveries require industrial manufacturing scale, we hope to attract contract biomanufacturers to relocate, expand, or establish in Arkansas to service the growing list of biomanufacturing startups with Arkansas ties. These large-scale biomanufacturing employers will require a trained workforce to meet these needs.”

At Faculty of Technical Sciences - Aarhus University at Aarhus Universitet we want to be an attractive workplace👌 As the collaborative and solution-oriented faculty, development, trust and respect for each other and our staff are a crucial part of the faculty's strategy. Tech as an attractive workplace was therefore an important theme when the faculty management at Tech met at the annual strategy workshop. “It is incredibly important that we have an attractive workplace. We have many employees that we would like to keep. We want to ensure that they thrive in their workplace so that they can provide the knowledge needed to advise both authorities and the private sector so that they have something to base their decisions on. It is also important that we are an attractive workplace, because we need more talented employees, and if we are to attract them, we need to be an attractive workplace," says Mikkel Tamstorf, Head of Institut for Ecoscience - Aarhus Universitet.
