The gap between education and industry needs is increasingly a\nconcern for parents when choosing higher education for their children.\nAmid rapid changes in the professional world, parents now consider not\nonly a university\u2019s academic quality but also how it prepares students\nfor future careers post-graduation.<\/p>\n
For many parents, higher education is no longer viewed merely as an\nacademic process but as a long-term investment to equip children with\ncareer readiness and adaptability amid evolving industries.<\/p>\n
A global survey by ManpowerGroup revealed that 77% of companies still\nstruggle to find talent with the right skills. This indicates that the\ncurrent challenge lies not just in job availability but in graduates\u2019\nreadiness to meet evolving industry demands.<\/p>\n
The World Economic Forum also predicts that around 22% of global jobs\nwill change by 2030, meaning young people must be equipped with relevant\nskills, experience, and adaptability for future developments.<\/p>\n
Binus University Rector Dr Nelly stated that higher education must\nprovide learning experiences relevant to future needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cHigher education is a long-term investment in children\u2019s future.\nTherefore, students need learning experiences that are not only\nacademically strong but also aligned with industry needs and global\ndevelopments,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlexible and real-world-integrated learning experiences are crucial\nin preparing students for the future,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents need opportunities to broaden competencies, gain global\nexposure, and secure early professional experience. Thus, the learning\nprocess supports not just academic growth but also readiness for the\nprofessional world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In line with these needs, Binus University, Indonesia\u2019s top private\nuniversity, continues to enhance the use of technology and Artificial\nIntelligence (AI) within its education ecosystem.<\/p>\n
AI and digital technology at Binus are not only integrated into\nteaching but also support research, academic services, student support,\nand industry collaboration.<\/p>\n
In learning processes, students are encouraged to understand how to\nuse AI productively, critically, and responsibly. AI is part of the\nlearning experience that helps students explore ideas, analyse\ninformation, solve problems, and develop solutions relevant to future\nneeds.<\/p>\n
AI technology is further strengthened through digital platforms and\nservices such as Binusmaya, Neksus, and Binus Support. These platforms\nhelp students access learning, academic services, personal development,\nand career planning in a more directed and integrated manner.<\/p>\n
Through Binusmaya, students access learning and academic activities\nmore flexibly. Neksus supports students in navigating their learning\njourney, personal development, and future-oriented career planning.\nMeanwhile, Binus Support provides responsive, accessible student\nservices tailored to Binusians\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n
In research, understanding AI is crucial for fostering adaptive,\ndata-driven approaches relevant to societal and industrial needs. This\naligns with Binus\u2019s efforts to build an education ecosystem that not\nonly follows technological advancements but also leverages them to\ngenerate solutions.<\/p>\n
AI and technology use are reinforced through industry collaboration\nand employability programmes. Through industry networks and career\nservices, students gain insights into evolving workplace demands,\nincluding technology applications across professions. Thus, students\ngrasp AI not just as a concept but also its practical application in\nlearning, research, services, and future career readiness.<\/p>\n
As part of this approach, BINUS University offers various programmes\nproviding flexibility and broader learning experiences, such as Minor\nProgrammes, Mobility Programmes, and Multi-Campus Programmes.<\/p>\n
Through Minor Programmes, students can study outside their main field\nto broaden competencies and interdisciplinary perspectives. Mobility\nProgrammes allow students to learn at other Binus campuses or\ninternational partner institutions, expanding global exposure and\ncross-cultural experiences.<\/p>\n
The Multi-Campus Programme enables students to experience learning\nacross different Binus campuses, each with unique characteristics and\nstrengths.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the 2.5-Year Degree Programme, Ready for Career, offers\nstudents early professional experience through enrichment programmes\nsuch as internships, entrepreneurship, research, community development,\nand international experiences.<\/p>\n
Supported by over 170 partner universities worldwide and more than\n2,200 global industry partners, Binus University continues to deliver an\neducation ecosystem integrated with industry needs and global\ndevelopments.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/parents-focus-on-childrens-career-readiness-as-binus-uses-ai-based-learning-1780031099", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
