The Fourth Industrial Revolution, as described by the World Economic Forum, will fundamentally change the way we live, work, learn and relate to one another. Unlike previous industrial revolutions, the speed of technology and innovation requires us to act and evolve at an unprecedented pace. As we navigate a world impacted by this change on a global level, now is the time to address the shifting job roles, skill sets and student interactions with employers. This includes how we should be looking at Work Integrated Learning Programs. The impact of WIL programs not adapting to these changes can be seen and felt at the very early stages of an individual’s journey into the world of work. betterU, having worked in some of the most difficult global environments, understands how to support students in becoming job ready.
This is where betterU’s WIL+ comes in!
betterU is guided by our mandate to provide access to skills opportunities to anyone and everyone to help them have a better life. The aim of our WIL+ Program is to close the skills gap between individuals and employers by creating an ecosystem that fosters sustainable growth and continued success for all involved.
