The most effective approach to achieve these outcomes? Interdisciplinary models that embed skills flexibly across curriculum, that engage learners as part of networks, teams, and exploration, and that embed applied experiences in real-world contexts
Important to observe here: none of these things are simple and they require ecosystem thinking. Embedding skills takes faculty, learning designers, CTL-types to train and. support faculty, and industry and edu associations to articulate the skills that need embedding. Applied opportunities require industry partners to create the opportunities, co-design them, and run them well...not to mention the HE side of coordinating between the partnership shop, career services, advising, and faculty.
