Is AI's effect on higher education forcing recruiters and job seekers to change their approaches to job searching? Concerns about the erosion of academic integrity and the inability to equip graduates with the skills needed in the AI era are becoming more apparent. #HigherEducation #AI

Snarky response: "What aren't colleges preparing students for?" Serious response: It is well known that, broadly speaking, college education is at least a decade behind in regards to preparing students for the job market. Despite some universities engaging in cutting edge research, this information takes years to influence undergraduate courses. The knowledge gap surrounding AI is another example of how higher education needs to evolve so that it can more quickly integrate new technologies. -------- While the majority of college graduates say their education has readied them for success in the job market, more than half said their programs didn’t prepare them for the use of generative AI, according to a Cengage Group report released July 23. And employers may be confirming these suspicions, the report noted; nearly 2 in 3 employers said candidates “should have foundational knowledge” of generative AI tools. More than half of employers said they were more likely to interview and hire applicants with AI experience. However, research showed improvement in colleges and universities focusing on “employable skills,” Cengage Group said; nearly 3 in 5 recent graduates of 2- or 4-year degree programs said that they believed their program equipped them with needed skills for their first job, up from 41% in 2023. Two-thirds also said that their education “has positioned them for success in the current job market.” https://lnkd.in/eQq_jF9r #highered #academia #ai #artificialintelligence #college #careerprep

Inside Higher Ed (IHE) has utilized my AI Capital framework, published in Oxford Economic Papers (Oxford University Press), to emphasize the importance of understanding and leveraging the potential of AI in higher education. AI capital can help institutions prepare students for the evolving workplace environment. My study's key finding highlighted by the coverage is that 'university graduates with AI capital, obtained through an AI business module, received more job interview invitations than those without AI capital. Additionally, these graduates were invited to interviews for higher-paying jobs. Furthermore, large firms showed a preference for applicants with AI capital, leading to increased interview invitations and opportunities for better-paid positions. These outcomes were consistent for both men and women. The study concludes that AI capital can significantly enhance employment prospects, particularly in large firms'. #arucise #aru Anglia Ruskin University https://lnkd.in/d_r3UjAD

The landscape of higher education is currently grappling with the formidable task of adapting to the breakneck pace of technological progress. In today's rapidly evolving AI environment, new programs and applications are constantly emerging, presenting a formidable challenge for educational institutions seeking to incorporate these advancements into their curricula. Moreover, employers are increasingly prioritizing candidates with a strong grasp of AI, making it imperative for both new entrants and existing professionals to actively pursue ongoing education in this field to ensure their relevance and competitiveness in the job market.

It's imperative to recognize that integrating GenAI training into curricula is not just about adding another skill set but about reshaping the entire educational paradigm to align with the rapidly evolving technological landscape. Institutions should consider partnerships with tech companies to provide real-world GenAI projects and internships, fostering a hands-on learning environment. Additionally, continuous professional development for educators in GenAI can ensure they are equipped to teach these emerging technologies effectively. By embedding GenAI literacy across various disciplines, we can prepare students not just for today's workforce, but for the dynamic challenges of tomorrow.
