The shift to adapt does not just apply to students preparing to enter the workforce.<\/p>\n
At Kaplan, about six in 10 of its Singapore students are early or mid-career professionals.<\/p>\n
As AI takes on more routine tasks across industries, employers are looking for a different mix of skills.<\/p>\n
They are increasingly seeking people who can interpret information that AI gives them and turn it into decisions, said Mr Alex Chevrolle, managing director of Kaplan Singapore.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are looking for people that can \u2026 think about that information, analyse it, provide actionable insights, communicate those insights, advocate for them, and then collaborate with other colleagues around the business in order to execute on those insights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
A similar change is taking place at the Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS), where more than half its students are working adults.<\/p>\n
A new campus next year will give students access to digital tools aimed at sparking creativity, while retaining the face-to-face learning that adult learners value.<\/p>\n
The institute has also shifted away from exam-centred learning towards assignments based on actual business problems.<\/p>\n
EHL Hospitality Business School, meanwhile, has seen courses taken up by working professionals rise by nearly 40 per cent year on year.<\/p>\n
The school said adult learners are increasingly seeking practical training that can be immediately applied at work, including in people leadership, AI literacy and business transformation.<\/p>\n
It is also seeing interest in learning that sits at the intersection of technology, business and human capabilities.<\/p>\n
As technology continues to get smarter, educators say the premium is shifting to what people can bring to the equation \u2013 creativity, judgement and the ability to keep learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
