AI & big data: How they’re changing the job skills our grads need
An online kōrero (conversation) with industry experts, hosted by the Employability Community of Interest, for teaching staff interested in future-focused graduate skills.
Wondering how AI and big data are reshaping what employers look for in graduates? Join Pip Lowe and Aaron Wallis from Datacom as they share their observations from working in industry. In this casual conversation, they’ll discuss the changing workplace and what these changes might mean for our teaching approaches. Drawing from their day-to-day experiences working with organisations and students, they’ll offer practical perspectives on preparing graduates for an increasingly tech-driven job market. Whether you’re just starting to think about AI or already using these tools in your teaching, this friendly kōrero aims to spark ideas and questions for staff across all faculties.
