ROLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS (HEI)
IN DIGITAL ECONOMY
• The digital revolution is powered by technologies such as mobile technology, the
internet, computer processing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, data
or information processors, and nanotechnology.
• Every existing and new software products and applications demands Digital
technologies
• It is therefore important that Institutions have CoE in Advanced Digital Technologies
to create a firm engineering talent base catering to the needs of this high-tech
industry.
WHY COLLEGES SHOULD ALSO FOCUS ON
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES (DT) SKILLS?
• The research found that DT skills are more important than ever, but supply isn’t
meeting demand. Colleges and universities can expand their offerings in how they
prepare students for careers, because skills in Digital Technologies are needed in
nearly every role in today’s companies.
• DT Skills initiatives pay off. Academic institutions that have DT skills initiatives —
especially those who train students on the most required skills — see higher job
placement rates for their students.
• Meeting this increasing demand for DT skills gives academic institutions a significant
opportunity to differentiate themselves.
WHY DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES SKILLS VITAL FOR
STUDENTS?
• Tech companies, and indeed all organizations in the digital economy, are
coming to realise that digital skills are vital for employees in the digital era.
• As the digital revolution sweeps across industries, it transforms business models
and reshapes the value chains
• The era of digital transformation is upon us
• To shape the future, we must join forces
