Academic & Corporate Relation Gaps. The T&D Role In Fulfilling It! By Samer Rizk
Outlines: • Today's Business Environment • The Increasing Corporate Needs • Gaps from Academia to Corporate • Role of T&D in Bridging Gaps • The Future Learning
Gaps from Academia to Corporate • Academic & standard education has a limited flexibility. • Focusing on fundamentals & vocational, with few steps into corporate formal trainings. • Several emerging lines of business are untargeted with any specific curricula (ex Fashion Retail).
Gaps from Academia to Corporate • Focusing on building competences more than competencies. • Academic suffers from slow change process, unable to cope with the fast change in business environment & generated needs. • Essential but no longer enough.
Role of T&D in Bridging gaps • Continuous corporate skills update to new market tools • Corporate needs focused with flexibility in adapting to change • Develop the competencies for efficient use of competences. • Direct learning into specific tasks based on organization gap analysis. • Nurturing a “Knowledge based” workforce.
