Sustainability Factory

The physical environment of learning spaces is not limited to college buildings. Work-based learning partnerships in changing work environments are also part of the spectrum.
The issues facing business leadership on how to stimulate a sustainable innovative environment will also have a huge impact on education and learning spaces in the future. People need to adapt constantly to changes in their professional environment and invest in learning and upskilling so that they may become entrepreneurs of their own future.

Central themes to be explored include:

  • The Transformation of learning spaces
  • The Work and Learning Arc – multiple jobs, new technology
  • Leadership of scalable learning
  • Stimulating Growth and Innovation – flexibility, retention and collaboration
  • Credentialing and upskilling
  • Recognising informal learning, specific tools being used to measure competency

Whether you are a community college, four year institution, employer, policymaker, non-profit or government agency, this is a unique opportunity to learn from and network with your international peers.
