The document analyzes skill trends among student learners on Coursera across five emerging jobs and nine countries. For each job, it examines the core skills required and students' proficiency levels in these skills globally. It finds that while students are making progress, most have not achieved the target proficiencies needed for the jobs. It also finds that students across countries are drawn to technology and data skills for digital careers, and that female enrollment on Coursera generally lags except in the Philippines and US. The analysis aims to help higher education improve curriculum alignment with labor market needs.

This document discusses the digital skills gaps that exist on university campuses between students, faculty, and workforce needs. There are three main skills gaps - a generational gap between digitally native students and less tech-savvy faculty, a technological gap between the skills educators have and need, and an inequality gap between students' varying digital skill levels. Universities are now expected to teach both hard and soft digital skills to prepare students for careers. The document recommends eight core digital skills and provides steps for closing skills gaps through blended learning programs and digital skills training.
The report provides insights into global skills trends based on data from over 124 million learners on Coursera in 100 countries. Key findings include:
1. Countries with higher skill proficiency levels tend to have higher GDP, and internet access is tied to greater economic opportunity.
2. Learners in high-income countries are more likely to develop human skills like collaboration that complement AI, while those in middle-income countries focus more on digital skills for online jobs.
3. Postgraduate learners are most likely to build AI-related skills, but foundational skills are growing among all learners to work with AI.
4. Many countries are closing gender gaps in online learning, though women
The report provides an overview of global skills trends based on data from over 124 million learners on Coursera. Key findings include:
1. Economic growth is correlated with higher skill proficiency levels in countries. Learners in high-income countries are more likely to develop human skills while those in middle-income countries focus more on digital skills.
2. Internet access is tied to greater economic opportunity as online learning provides access to education. Countries with higher skill proficiency also tend to have better internet infrastructure.
3. Demand for professional certificates is surging globally as learners prepare for in-demand digital roles. While the US leads in enrollments, growth rates are highest in developing countries.
This document introduces the Experiential Learning and Competency-Based Education Landscape (EXCEL) framework. EXCEL aims to transform academic programs through fluid and organic curriculum focused on immersive experiential learning. It seeks to produce resilient and change-ready graduates by incorporating competency-based learning and experiential learning elements grounded in the UNESCO Four Pillars of Learning. The framework is an extension of initiatives in the Malaysian Higher Education Blueprint to better prepare students for an evolving job market through meaningful industry and community experiences.
The EXCEL framework provides guidance for integrating experiential and competency-based learning into higher education curriculum. It aims to produce graduates who are resilient and able to adapt to change. EXCEL is based on principles from the Malaysian Higher Education Blueprint and extends initiatives like the Future Focused Curriculum and MyHE 4.0. It introduces a systematic way of incorporating experiential learning, competency development, and flexible curriculum design into academic programs.
The document discusses modernizing education and training systems. It notes the importance of lifelong learning and addressing skills gaps. Vocational education is highlighted as helping to reduce dropout rates. However, funding remains a challenge for reforms. While higher education collaboration with industry is recognized as important for innovation, few countries have comprehensive strategies. The demand for tertiary education is rising but there are issues that need collective solutions to ensure 40% of the global workforce having qualifications by 2020. National reforms are progressing but not enough against benchmarks and this could lead to social exclusion if not addressed.
Italy Agriculture Equipment Market Outlook to 2027harveenkaur52
Italy has a strong manufacturing base for agricultural machinery and equipment. Companies including CNH Industrial (which includes brands like New Holland Agriculture and Case IH), SAME Deutz-Fahr, and Landini are prominent players in the market, both domestically and internationally. There is a growing emphasis on precision agriculture techniques in Italy. Farmers are adopting technologies like GPS-guided tractors, drones, and sensor-based systems to optimize resource use, monitor crop health, and enhance overall farm management practices. Government policies and support programs influence people to adopt agricultural machinery and equipment. Subsidies, incentives for modernization, and regulatory standards related to emissions and safety impact the market dynamics.
The agricultural equipment market in Italy is a consolidated market with the leading 4 players contributing to ~60% of the overall market revenue. The market players consist of established domestic manufacturers & leading global players. The companies selling tractors and combine harvesters in Italy are regulated by the i.e. the Italian Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Federation.

A STUDY OF SKILLS REQUIRED FOR EFFECTIVE DISTANCE LEARNERS FOR QUALITATIVE DI...Alicia Edwards
This document discusses strategies to increase employability among distance learners in India. It notes that while education aims to impart both knowledge and employment opportunities, the latter is often more important for supporting livelihoods. Distance education has grown substantially in India in providing formal education to more populations like women and unemployed youth. However, there remains a gap between the knowledge gained through education and what is useful for professional careers.
To address this, the document recommends several strategies for distance education programs. These include developing effective curricula focused on professional skills development, incorporating interdisciplinary approaches and hands-on training programs, making writing assignments compulsory to build practical skills, providing timely feedback to students, and establishing academic-industry partnerships. The objective

Literacy Technology Community_The Importance of Smart Technology in Workforce...Jan Stephens PhD
This document discusses the importance of technology access for adult education and workforce training. It notes that access to technology is now essential for full participation in 21st century education and training opportunities. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) supports using technology to improve teaching, learning, and system efficiencies. However, many adults still lack basic literacy and job skills. Expanding access to technology and online learning resources through a "bring your own device" model could help address these issues by allowing literacy instruction and workforce training to reach more learners.
This document compares the academic performance and job readiness of graduates from before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. It finds that pre-pandemic students scored poorer academically than their post-pandemic peers, while pre-pandemic graduates had higher work readiness scores in terms of aptitude and practical skills. Both groups outperformed their job readiness scores in terms of learning performance. This raises questions about whether higher education's role is to promote sustainable graduate production or just deliver certificates. The author argues that online education during COVID-19 has exacerbated the "diploma disease crisis" and that policies need to ensure higher education can play its necessary role in emergencies while using online technology appropriately.
This study is entitled “Employability Indices of Business Graduates in the Banking Industry”. The study was to establish the significant employability indices among business graduates in the banking industry. It sought to identify the significant commonalities and differences in the respondents’ assessment. The methodology used was descriptive-survey. The respondents of this study consisted of HR directors and bank managers from universal, commercial and thrift banks. The researcher made use of a Web-based survey known as harvested emails. Samples were derived from harvested e-mail lists which are non-probability samples because they were based on a convenience sample of e-mail addresses.
The document discusses how communities need a collaborative approach between all stakeholders like educators, employers, government, and community groups to help citizens find good jobs and employers find qualified employees. It suggests communities that ensure their citizens have access to good jobs and engaged employees will prosper, while those that don't will decline. It recommends five foundation resources be implemented at all education levels, including experiential career learning programs, online career exploration tools, electronic portfolios, course planning systems, and online networking between students and employers. This whole-community approach is needed for communities to retain talent and prosper in an era of rapid technological change and talent shortages.
The document discusses trends driving changes in education systems towards a "Smarter Nation". Five key trends are identified: 1) technology immersion, 2) personalized learning, 3) knowledge/skills focus, 4) global integration, and 5) economic alignment. These trends form an "Educational Continuum" and have implications for integrating education providers and economic development initiatives to benefit the nation.
Role of skill development in overcoming social disadvantageRohan Tiwari
This document provides background information on skills development and overcoming social disadvantage for the 2012 EFA Global Monitoring Report. It discusses the challenges in defining and measuring skills development, as skills come from formal, non-formal and informal sources. Evaluation evidence shows vocational/technical education improves employment when labor demand is high and education quality is good. Targeted programs providing skills and support services have benefited disadvantaged youth in getting jobs. Continued economic growth and expanded access to skills development opportunities are needed to improve outcomes for socially disadvantaged groups.

south Africa's Scarce and Critical Skills bekkerd1
South Africa is facing a skills crisis due to shortcomings in its education system. Only 17% of school leavers achieve university entry standards, while 50% pass but do not qualify for university and 33% fail their final high school exams. The majority of the 535,000 young people who leave school annually without qualifications join the unemployed. The document discusses problems with numeracy and literacy standards, as well as unequal outcomes between historically white and black schools. It also examines challenges in higher education like high dropout rates, and shortages in fields like engineering, health, and artisan skills. Solutions proposed include improving early education, increasing apprenticeships, and addressing systemic inefficiencies in the skills pipeline.
Here is a high-level overview of how UpSkill's technology works:
- Users upload their resume/CV or connect their LinkedIn profile to provide information on work history, education, skills and interests.
- Natural language processing is used to extract relevant data from free-form text fields.
- Skills are identified and standardized. Interests are inferred based on job titles, courses, hobbies etc.
- This data is matched against an extensive database of job profiles detailing typical skill requirements, personality fits, career paths, salaries etc for different roles.
- Machine learning algorithms calculate the similarity between a user's profile and each job to determine their suitability score. Factors like skill overlap, interest
Keynote Address At Kristu Jayanti CollegeRam Purohit
The document discusses the need for industry involvement in higher education in India. It notes that the current higher education system is not producing the skills needed for the 21st century. It outlines a proposed framework for higher education that focuses on core subjects, thinking/learning skills, ICT literacy, life skills, and 21st century content. It also discusses how industry can contribute through philanthropy, collaboration with universities on research and training, and establishing private education institutions. The speaker argues that systemic reforms are needed to increase autonomy of institutions and scale higher education to meet growing demand.

This document discusses factors contributing to a crisis in the value of college degrees, including rising tuition costs and student debt in the US. It notes that tuition has increased 19 times faster than family income in the US over 30 years. While a degree is still often required for jobs, the value of degrees is being questioned due to high costs and low confidence in higher education. Other factors fueling the crisis are high college dropout rates, a skills gap between graduates and employer needs, and changes brought by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
As teachers prepare themselves to implement these latest education developments, here are the five most important trends with which they should familiarize themselves.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

Campus Skills Report 2022 Introduction
Introduction
Understanding the future of higher education
The pandemic dramatically accelerated the pace of technological adoption worldwide. As the
world moved online, individuals, businesses, and governments alike altered their expectations and
behaviors. Today, technological adoption continues at record rates, and innovations in automation
and artificial intelligence (AI) are fast developing.1
These advances are changing both the nature of jobs and the skills required to do them. As
the division of labor among humans, machines, and algorithms shifts, jobs that involve routine,
repetitive work will disappear, while new jobs—many of which cannot currently be predicted—will
emerge. By 2025, 85 million existing jobs may be lost, yet 97 million new jobs may arise.2
Many
of these new jobs will center on skills that are uniquely human, from cognitive skills such as
decision making and creativity, to social and emotional skills, such as collaboration and project
management. Technology skills, such as software programming, machine learning, and product
design, will also increase in demand.3
In our skills-based, accelerated world, higher education is more important than ever.
Higher educational institutions have long been avenues of economic opportunity, social
mobility, and intellectual flourishing. By enabling people to gain the foundational knowledge
and concrete skills that they need to succeed throughout their lives, these institutions are
essential to thriving, equitable societies. As economic growth increasingly depends on advanced
forms of human capital, the role that these institutions play as incubators of human talent will
only become more important.
Aligning higher education and employment
Youth unemployment, long elevated, is reaching crisis levels. In 2020, employment among
15- to 24- year- olds worldwide fell by 8.7%, compared to 3.7% for adults.4
The pandemic worsened
the limited job prospects of many of the world’s youth, who were already at least twice as likely to
be unemployed as adults. Between 2015 and 2025, over one billion young people will enter the job
market—yet only 40% are expected to find formal jobs.5
Joblessness has adverse effects on youth,
including diminished lifetime earnings, social exclusion, and psychological distress.
Enhancing student employability is a top priority for higher education. Higher education has
numerous objectives: among them, contributing to knowledge creation, enabling socioeconomic
mobility, and promoting diversity and inclusion. All of these objectives are tied to students’ career
prospects upon graduation—or, otherwise put, their employability. Employability is a measure
of students’ ability to secure their first job and remain employed throughout their working lives.
While higher education should not focus solely on employability, incorporating employability
within a holistic learning program is of crucial importance.
Higher education institutions rely on successful job placements to increase enrollments
and rise in international rankings. Around the world, students describe bettering their work
opportunities as one of their primary motivations for pursuing a post-secondary degree.6
Global
university rankings also rely on graduates’ employment outcomes when determining institutions’
placements.7
Enhancing student employability can enable higher education institutions to boost
their enrollments, forge deeper industry partnerships, and build stronger alumni communities.

Campus Skills Report 2022 Introduction
Embracing skills-first learning
While higher education is typically organized by academic disciplines, today’s jobs are
organized by skills. Youth unemployment has many causes, yet foremost among them are
the disconnects between what students learn and what employers need.8
The fact that higher
educational institutions and employers speak different languages—the first, of academic
disciplines; the second, of skills—has contributed to misalignments between curricula and labor
market demands that may limit students’ ability to secure employment.
A skills-first approach can enable higher educational institutions to align their curricula with
labor market needs. The shared framework of skills connects all players in the education-to-
employment ecosystem. Skills can empower students to identify, understand, and communicate
what they have learned to employers and apply this knowledge to real-world situations. By
conceiving curricula in terms of the specific skills that they impart, higher education institutions
can connect the language of academic disciplines to that of the job market. In doing so, they can
identify curricular strengths and weaknesses, proactively fill curricular gaps, and evolve course
offerings to meet emerging economic and societal needs.
Multi-disciplinary skills empower students to pursue multiple career paths. Skills can be
both discipline-specific—for example, finance for a business student—and multi-disciplinary—
for example, data analytics for an arts and humanities student. Multi-disciplinary skills are
transferable, meaning that they apply to multiple majors and career paths. They thus create a
foundation for continuous learning that enables students to both become and remain employable
throughout their lives. An estimated 85% of the jobs that will exist by 2030 have yet to be invented.9
Multi-disciplinary skills, particularly those that relate to the use, analysis, and design of data and
technology, can help students prepare for this unpredictable future.
Teaching the skills of the future
Higher education institutions often struggle to keep their curricula up to date, especially in
fields related to data and technology. Many of today’s fastest-growing digital skills, including
user experience design, cloud computing, and social media, were relatively unheard of until
recently.10
As new, high-growth skills arise in the working world, many higher education
institutions lack the ability to both identify these skills and integrate them into existing
curricula.11
As a result, many students are being prepared for jobs that may no longer exist, while
others are not acquiring the skills needed for the in-demand jobs to which they aspire.12
Online learning presents higher education with immense opportunities. By providing
transparency about in-demand skills and integrating online courses that teach these skills into
existing curricula, these institutions can effectively align their curricula with both local and
global labor market needs. Guided by their institutions, students can craft versatile portfolios of
skills that enable them to follow their disciplinary interests while gaining job-ready skills.
This report explores skill trends among student learners across the globe and identifies
key steps that higher education institutions can take to improve student employability.
Drawing from Coursera’s 3.8 million registered student learners and 3,700 free and paid campus
customers, it measures the skill proficiencies of students for five emerging roles, highlights
student skill trends across nine countries, and provides skill-to-job pathways for 10 academic
disciplines. Importantly, while certain students use online learning to acquire skills on their
own initiative, others are guided by curated programs implemented by their institutions in
partnership with Coursera. When reading this report, the formative role of higher education
institutions cannot be overstated.

This section explores five emerging jobs—data scientist, data analyst, software engineer,
machine learning engineer, and marketing specialist—in which students on Coursera express
strong interest. While most of these jobs are entry level, data scientist and machine learning
engineering roles may require additional qualifications and/or prior work experience. According
to the World Economic Forum, these jobs are among the most in demand and fastest growing
globally: an upward trend that is expected to continue in coming years.13
By revealing where
students are performing well, and where they’re falling behind, this section offers visibility into the
job-readiness of students worldwide. Drawing on these insights, higher education leaders can take
concrete steps to close curricular gaps and improve student employability.
In line with Coursera’s skills-first approach to learning, each job is broken down into a set
of five to six core skills. These skills are assigned target proficiencies—conversant, beginner,
intermediate, or advanced—that reflect the level of expertise required for a working professional.
For each job, a series of density-plot visualizations show the distribution of proficiencies among
students globally on Coursera for each of that job’s associated skills.
Are students equipped with the skills needed to enter emerging jobs? Our skill trend analysis
of students on Coursera reveals the following insights:
• The emerging jobs in which students have expressed the most interest are data scientist, data
analyst, software engineer, machine learning engineer, and marketing specialist. While
students have made meaningful progress toward obtaining baseline proficiency in job-relevant
skills, the majority have yet to meet the target skill proficiencies needed to transition into these jobs.
• Students who plan to pursue data scientist and data analyst jobs must focus on advancing their
data visualization skills, along with foundational mathematics, probability, and statistics skills.
• While a vast majority of students interested in becoming software engineers are conversant
in software engineering, only a small share have the intermediate software engineering skills
needed for the role: a gap that can be closed through coursework in programming languages,
data structures, and operating systems, along with hands-on coding projects.
• Machine learning, probability, and statistics are the most developed skills among students who
aspire to become machine learning engineers—yet, to secure these roles, they must improve
their facility with computer and statistical programming.
• Students who express interest in becoming marketing specialists show strength in
communication and data analysis software skills. This pairing aligns with the demands of
modern marketing, which blends storytelling and data.

As a university, our goal is to empower our
students to own their futures. Rather than view
learning as a challenge, we want our graduates
to confidently say: ‘I can learn anytime,
anywhere, and the world is at my feet.’
Since we’ve introduced online learning, half
of our students have taken four or more
online courses and together, they’ve logged
one million learning hours. In addition to
learning in an online environment—a critical
skill for lifelong learning—these students
have been able to gain in-demand skills and
pursue hands-on projects that give them
an edge when applying for jobs. Companies
who interview on our campus are pleasantly
surprised: ‘How have you been able to achieve
all these things?’ they ask our students. When
our students land their dream jobs: that’s a
very proud moment for us.

By 2027, India will become the world’s most populous
country.21
Its demographics skew young, with more than 50%
of its population below the age of 25, and over 65% below the
age of 35. In the next two decades, an estimated 10–12 million
young people will enter its workforce each year: a trend that
promises to fuel extraordinary economic growth, provided that
ample opportunities for productive employment exist.22
Unfortunately, the pandemic prompted an economic
contraction whose impact on young people was particularly
severe.23
In March 2021, unemployment stood at almost 39%
among 20- to 24-year-olds, compared to 9.3% for the general
population.24
Gender disparities further hinder inclusive
growth. From primary through tertiary education, the share
of women who attend school is consistently larger than that
of men. Yet only 24% of women actively engage in the labor
market, giving India one of the lowest female labor force
participation rates in the world.25
While access to higher education is at a historic high, concerns
with the relevance and quality of programs persist. Since 2001,
the number of post-secondary educational institutions in India
has grown dramatically, and enrollment rates have nearly
tripled to 29%.26
Despite these encouraging gains, problems
abound: among them, insufficient funding, weak regulatory
oversight, teaching shortages, and outdated curricula.
Courses in technical disciplines often lag 10 to 15 years behind
industry needs, resulting in graduates who lack the advanced
technology skills needed to drive domestic innovation.27
Data from students in India on Coursera reveals a strong
interest in digital skills. As India’s digital infrastructure
improves, technology is primed to transform nearly every
sector of its economy, from financial services and healthcare
to logistics, manufacturing, and trade.28
By building key
digital skills such as HTML and CSS, data structures, and C
programming, students in India are preparing to meet the
needs of their country’s fast-growing digital economy, which is
expected to serve a population of over 1.5 billion internet users
by 2040.29
Cutting-edge digital skills are priming these students for
emerging technology jobs. In recent years, India has risen
in global innovation rankings.30
What’s more, its startup
ecosystem is the world’s third largest after the U.S. and China.31
By acquiring skills in emerging areas such as blockchain,
cloud computing, and mobile development, students in India
are readying themselves to build innovative products, from

Demand for
these jobs is surging: in 2020, employers in India posted nearly
379,000 openings for cloud-related roles alone.33
While digital skills dominate among these students, an
opportunity exists to develop human and business skills.
Programming and data skills are crucial for in-demand digital
jobs in India—yet so are collaboration, communication, and
critical thinking skills.34
This is particularly true in software
and web development, as programmers must communicate
technical requirements and act on feedback from cross-
functional stakeholders. Students in India can smooth their
transition into employment by complementing their technical
learnings with non-technical skills.

Today, the Philippines has the largest youth generation in
its history, with 30 million people aged 10–24 comprising
28% of its population.35
When paired with policies to support
this rising generation and provide them with pathways into
formal jobs, this dynamic can drive tremendous growth.
Youth in the Philippines, however, have long faced high rates
of unemployment and economic disengagement. In January
2020, an estimated 20% of young people in the Philippines
were not in employment, education, or training: a rate that
rose sharply for women.36
The government’s five-year development plan, adopted
in 2017, upholds skills-based higher education as key to
improving outcomes for youth and aligning their studies with
the economy’s changing needs.37
Yet, despite political will to
modernize higher education, significant challenges remain.
While the Philippines hosts nearly 2,000 higher education
institutions—more than 10 times the regional average—they
perform poorly on international rankings, with only one
breaking the top 500 globally.38
Of all the countries featured in this report, the Philippines
has the highest percentage of female students enrolled
on Coursera. According to the World Economic Forum, the
Philippines has the highest levels of gender parity in the region
and ranks 17th globally. In 2020, 1.3 women in the Philippines
were enrolled in tertiary education for every one man. Still,
important progress remains to be made, particularly in STEM
disciplines, where enrollments of women trail significantly
behind those of men. Higher education leaders can help
achieve a more equitable future by creating mentorship
programs for young women who express interest in STEM
fields and integrating digital skills into the business, law, and
education curricula in which the majority of women enroll.39
Students in the Philippines on Coursera are focusing on
human skills such as communication, project management,
and leadership development. These skills, which include
the ability to communicate effectively in English, serve as
gateways for jobs in the country’s thriving business processing
outsourcing (BPO) sector.40

THE PHILIPPINES
A rising youth generation with strong English skills confronts technological change
provided a competitive advantage to the Philippines, which
has the world’s fifth-largest English-speaking population. In
2012, it surpassed India as the top outsourcing destination for
voice-based services and has been steadily increasing its share
of the global BPO industry since.41
Students are also building digital skills, including Python
programming and data analytics. Automation and AI are
transforming the Philippines’ economy, including its BPO
sector. By 2022, an estimated 73% of the country’s BPO jobs
will require workers with mid- or high-level skills. To remain
competitive, the Philippines will need to shift toward more
complex offerings, such as engineering services, software
development, game animation, and cloud computing.42
If
students are to fully seize these emerging opportunities, they
will need to learn digital and data skills.

As the home to Europe’s largest youth population, Turkey is set
to reap sizable economic gains as a new generation of workers
enters its economy.43
To realize these gains, however, leaders
must address a range of structural challenges, including low
labor force participation of women, widespread informal
employment, and pervasive skills gaps.
As a result of the pandemic, gender disparities in Turkey
have widened, and youth unemployment has risen. In 2020,
the share of young people who were not in employment,
education, or training reached 34%: the highest rate of any
country in Europe.44
Turkey’s youth unemployment crisis
comes after a period of tremendous expansion within its higher
education system. Since 2002, the number of state and private
universities in the country has increased by 275%, while the
total number of university students has grown from 1.8 million
to over 7.5 million.45
Yet additional years spent in education
have not necessarily yielded better outcomes for students.
Under-resourcing, uneven quality, and disconnects between
academic curricula and industry needs have produced a growing
population of educated, jobless young people in Turkey.46
Students in Turkey on Coursera are focusing on human
skills that industry leaders have identified as critical to
the future of work. As Turkey shifts toward a services-based
economy, the number of jobs related to customer interaction,
product development, and care provision will grow.47
By
2030 in Turkey, demand for social and emotional skills, such
as resilience, is expected to increase 22%, while demand
for higher-level cognitive skills, such as critical thinking and
human learning, is expected to rise by 7%.48
In a promising
trend, these are among the top skills that students in Turkey on
Coursera are learning.
Advanced math and technology skills prime these
students to meet the needs of their country’s digitizing
economy. By 2030, digital technologies have the potential

TURKEY
Connecting education to employment for Europe’s youngest workforce
from DeepLearning.AI, students in Turkey on Coursera are
preparing to seize these emerging opportunities.
Encouraging female students in Turkey to adopt online
learning may help close gender gaps, particularly in
STEM fields. In Turkey, women enroll in higher education at
significantly higher rates than men, yet they represent 44%
of students enrolled on Coursera. In addition, fewer than 8%
pursue engineering degrees, compared to 19% of men. By
challenging stereotypes that deter women from STEM fields
and integrating digital skills into existing curricula (particularly
in business, education, and arts and humanities programs,
in which the majority of women enroll), higher education
institutions can help bridge gender-based gaps in technology
skills within Turkey.50

In order to survive and remain
relevant in the years to come, higher
education institutions must embrace
technology and virtual education.
In doing so, they can unlock a vast
library of pedagogical resources
created by leading educators
from around the globe. These
resources enrich students’ learning
experiences and empower them to
direct their own courses of study.
They also cultivate key skills such as
independence and self-motivated
learning that are crucial to success
in the 21st century, both within
academia and beyond.

Since the early 2000s, Colombia has made impressive
economic, social, and political strides. Yet Colombia remains
one of the most unequal societies in the world, with the
wealthiest 10% of the population earning more than 11 times
the income of the poorest 10%. Such disparities, combined
with stagnant productivity growth, widespread labor-market
informality, and dependency on oil exports, present urgent
challenges to the country’s future growth.51
Currently, 30% of 25- to 34-year-olds in Colombia hold a
post-secondary degree, compared to the average among
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD) countries of 46%.52
Since 2000, enrollment rates in
tertiary education have more than doubled.53
This rise can be
attributed, in part, to the increase in the number of degree-
granting programs during the same period. Many of these new
programs are poor in quality and fail to provide pathways into
secure employment.54
However, when students graduate with
job-relevant skills, the benefits of advanced education can be
significant. In Colombia, young adults with tertiary degrees
earn 95% more than their peers with only upper-secondary
degrees, while 82% of adults with tertiary education are
in employment.55
Students in Colombia on Coursera are focusing on human
skills, such as resilience, adaptability, and creativity.
According to employers in Colombia, these skills are among
the most desired yet difficult to find among applicants,
indicating that these students are setting themselves up for
greater success in the job market.56
These skills also align with
the needs of Colombia’s emerging creative economy, which
comprises a range of pursuits across design, new media,
software, and the arts. Together, these pursuits represent over
3.4% of the country’s GDP: a share that is continuing to grow.57
Programming, software, and data analysis courses have
high enrollments among these students. “Programming for
Everybody (Getting Started with Python)” from the University
of Michigan and “Excel Skills for Business: Essentials” from
Macquarie University are the two most popular courses on
Coursera in which these students enroll. To create further
opportunities for their students, higher education institutions
COLOMBIA
Pairing creativity with technology skills to create new avenues of economic growth
can emphasize additional technology skills such as software
engineering, interactive design, and mobile development. In
doing so, they can prepare students for the country’s most in-
demand jobs, such as software developer.58
Gender disparities in the pursuit of online education in
Colombia require thoughtful attention. The enrollment rate
of women in Colombia in tertiary education is 60%, compared
to 51% for men.59
By contrast, 44% of students enrolled on
Coursera in Colombia are women: a discrepancy that may
signal their lack of awareness of or access to online learning. In
the past year, Colombia has slid backward on gender equality
metrics, falling from a rank of 22 out of 153 countries in 2020 to
a rank of 59 out of 156 countries in 2021.60
Encouraging female
students to supplement their education with job-relevant,
online courses, particularly in STEM fields, may help them
achieve better employment outcomes.

Until recently, digital adoption among
higher education institutions has
progressed slowly. That is now changing
—as technology advances, the workforce
demands a new set of skills that higher
education institutions aren’t always
equipped to teach. Educational offerings
must evolve so that a students’ degree is
more than a symbol, but actually equips
them with the skills needed for the
workforce. At Universidad de Guadalajara,
embracing online learning has helped us
keep pace with this industry innovation.
We are now able to supplement our
curriculum with job-relevant skills and

Mexico is Latin America’s second-largest economy and has the
region’s second-largest youth population.61
Over the past three
decades, however, economic progress has stalled. High levels
of income inequality and slow rates of technological adoption
are contributing factors.62
Many young people hold informal
jobs, which account for more than half of all employment
in Mexico, yet these jobs lack legal safeguards and hamper
the country’s ability to build human capital. As measured
by GDP per hour worked, Mexico has one of the lowest labor
productivity levels within the OECD.63
In Mexico, dropping out of school is common: only 56% of
15- to 19-year-olds complete upper secondary education.64
In
addition, just 17% of adults in Mexico hold a tertiary degree:
the lowest rate among OECD countries, and one that falls
further in low-income states such as Chiapas.65
The number
of degree-granting programs has expanded in recent years,
yet regulatory frameworks have failed to keep pace, leading
to large differences in quality and labor-market relevance
among programs. In a 2018 study, 46% of employers in Mexico
reported a lack of job-relevant skills among applicants, while
83% considered the education and training of applicants
unsuited to their sector.66
Students in Mexico on Coursera are focusing on business
skills, such as organizational development and people
development. They’re acquiring these skills through courses
on organizational analysis, project management, and
English.67
English proficiency is particularly in demand among
employers in Mexico: in a 2015 survey, 69% identified English
as an essential skill for prospective hires.68
To better bridge
education and employment, higher education leaders can
ground assignments in real-world case studies and help place
students in job-relevant internships.
Human skills such as resilience, creativity, and human
learning create a strong foundation for students to
continually learn and grow. At present, few initiatives exist
to build human skills through higher education in Mexico.69
While students in Mexico on Coursera clearly value these
MEXICO

skills, others are unaware of their importance to long-term
professional success. Higher education leaders can take action
by determining where human skills are taught in existing
curricula and closing gaps with a mix of courses and project-
based learning. In doing so, they can help students identify
and communicate this important aspect of their education to
potential employers.
While courses in Python and statistical programming are
popular among these students, additional technology skills
would open further opportunities.
Each year, more than
110,000 engineers, representing more than 20% of all graduates,
enter Mexico’s labor force.70
Yet its universities struggle to
keep up with the latest software development tools, which
causes students’ knowledge to lag behind industry needs. By
obtaining advanced technology skills such as web development,
interactive design, and AI, students in Mexico can contribute
to a culture of domestic innovation and seize opportunities in
emerging technology hubs such as Tijuana and Guadalajara.71

With more than 100 million people, over 60% of whom are under
the age of 30, Egypt has the region’s largest youth population.72
For decades, however, the country’s labor market has failed
to keep pace with the growth of its working-age population.
In 2019, more than one in four young people in Egypt were
unemployed: a statistic that has likely worsened over the course
of the pandemic.73
Even when young people secure a job, it is often precarious.
Employment is concentrated in the informal sector, which
accounts for half of Egypt’s GDP.74
Low skilled and poorly paid,
these jobs fail to nurture the productivity, expertise, and
income necessary for Egypt to utilize the full potential of this
rising generation. Youth unemployment, wealth disparities,
and social stagnation were leading causes of the 2011 uprising
that forced Egypt’s then-president from power.75
Today, these
problems linger, and the pandemic has laid bare further
disparities between the country’s haves and have-nots.76
In higher education, underfunding, overcrowding, and
outdated courses are persistent challenges. In its Vision 2030
development plan, the government has pledged to modernize
curricula, expand technical education, and digitize classrooms.
Despite these ongoing reforms, graduates find themselves with
limited opportunities, as declining public-sector employment
has not been matched by private-sector job creation.77
Students in Egypt on Coursera gravitate toward technology
skills. By learning skills such as software architecture, software
testing, and software engineering, they’re preparing to both
drive digital transformation within existing industries—a
central goal of Vision 2030—and launch their own ventures.
In 2021, Egypt was home to over 560 startups across verticals
such as e-commerce, fintech, and e-health.78
Perceptions of
entrepreneurship are positive among youth, and access to
financing has improved, with $190 million USD invested in
Egyptian startups in 2020.79
Higher education leaders can
support this momentum by supplementing existing curricula
with entrepreneurship skills and hands-on projects that
students can apply to real-world use cases.
Courses such as “Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere”
from Google empower students with in-demand data
skills. In 2019, Egypt formed the National Council for Artificial
Intelligence: a partnership among state institutions, academics,
EGYPT
The region’s largest youth population looks toward digital opportunities
and business leaders that seeks to harness AI to advance the
country’s sustainable development goals.80
Data is the fuel for
AI, and the pandemic has dramatically accelerated its adoption
in Egypt. As public and private sector actors implement a range
of AI applications, from predictive analytics to Arabic language
chatbots, students with robust data skills will have a strong
competitive advantage over fellow job seekers.81
Only 33% of students enrolled on Coursera in Egypt are
female: the lowest level of all countries featured in this
report. Women in Egypt obtain tertiary degrees at a slightly
higher rate than their male peers.82
Yet, currently, 37% of
young women are neither in school nor working: a number
that rises to nearly 70% among women in rural areas.83
The
potential economic gains of improving women’s pathways
from education to employment are immense: achieving gender
parity in the workforce would add an estimated $313 billion
USD to Egypt’s GDP by 2025.84

Employers today are looking at more than
students’ degrees. They want graduates that
are proficient in English, excel at interpersonal
skills, and know how to use industry-
standard tools such as Microsoft. Ensuring
the curriculum addresses these skill needs is
critical for higher education institutions. So is
forging partnerships with employers.
At the University of Jeddah, we host career
fairs where students can interview with local
employers. Afterwards, we solicit feedback
to understand whether our students meet
employers’ skill requirements. We use this
feedback to prioritize a set of skills by college
or academic discipline, using online learning
to build career paths that help students bridge
between their studies and the job market.

With nearly 60% of its population under the age of 30, Saudi
Arabia is in the midst of a youth bulge. In coming years, 280,000
new entrants are expected to enter its labor force annually.85
At the same time, youth unemployment has been steadily
climbing. It currently stands at 42% among Saudi nationals: the
second-highest rate in the region, and among the highest rates
globally.86
Gender inequities underlie this statistic: as of 2019,
58% of young women were unemployed, compared to 17%
of young men.87
This divide deepened during the pandemic,
which has led to disproportionate job, income, and mobility
losses among women.88
In 2016, the government launched Vision 2030: an ambitious
development plan that aims to shift Saudi Arabia from
an oil-based to a knowledge-based economy.89
In this
undertaking, higher education will play a central role.90
Currently, government spending on tertiary education is
among the highest in the region, yet student outcomes are
often disappointing.91
Many students arrive at university
unprepared and require foundation-year programs to fill
gaps in their upper-secondary schooling. Major reforms will
be needed to align curricula with the needs of the diversified
economy to which Saudi Arabia aspires.
Guided by their institutions, students in Saudi Arabia on
Coursera are pairing human skills, such as writing and
emotional intelligence, with business skills. Human and
business skills elevate one another: writing enables students
to clarify their thoughts and articulate complex ideas to
stakeholders, while emotional intelligence empowers them
to effectively lead and manage teams. By joining writing and
emotional intelligence with courses in strategy, data analysis,
and project management, these students are acquiring a diverse
portfolio of skills that will allow them to enter and grow Saudi
Arabia’s private sector: two strategic priorities of Vision 2030.92
While technology skills represent a weak spot overall,
Python programming from the University of Michigan is
the most popular course among these students. Students
in Saudi Arabia are most likely to pursue degrees in business,
administration, and law, resulting in a shortage of graduates
from STEM disciplines.93
The creation of dedicated STEM
institutions, such as King Abdullah University of Science and
Technology, established in 2009 and ranked among the top
100 universities globally, is a promising step.94
By adding data
and digital skills to core curricula across disciplines, higher
education leaders can further align students’ learnings with
industry needs.
SAUDI ARABIA
Equipping youth with future-oriented skills to promote economic diversification
Only 39% of students enrolled on Coursera in Saudi Arabia
are women. While the gender gap in tertiary education has
narrowed, such that the enrollment rate of women now
exceeds that of men, gender-based divides in employment and
income persist.95
Aided by a series of legal reforms, the female
labor force participation rate has risen by 64% since 2018, yet
significant progress remains to be made—especially when it
comes to achieving parity in STEM professions.96
The economic
benefits of empowering women to both secure their first jobs
and remain employed are profound: achieving gender parity
in the workforce would add an estimated $586 billion USD to
Saudi Arabia’s GDP by 2025.97

Today, South Africa is the world’s most unequal country: the
richest 10% of the population holds 71% of the country’s total
wealth, while the poorest 60% holds 7%.98
Progress toward
social equity has been stalled by years of weak economic
growth and rising unemployment, which is particularly
acute among young people. At the end of 2020, youth
unemployment reached a historic high of 63%, compared to
35% for the general population.99
South Africa’s higher education system is the largest and most
highly ranked on the African continent.100
Yet today, students
in South Africa enter tertiary institutions from positions
of extreme inequality in terms of race, class, and financial
resources, as well as the quality of their previous schooling.101
This results in low enrollment rates and widespread dropouts
among underprivileged groups. In 2019, only 4.3% of black
South Africans aged 18 to 29 were pursuing a tertiary degree,
compared to 20% of their white counterparts.102
Despite these
challenges, higher education has outsize benefits: in 2018,
21% of tertiary-educated 25- to 29-year-olds in South Africa
were neither in employment, education, or training, compared
to 52% of those with only an upper-secondary degree.103
Ample opportunities exist for students who develop digital
skills, yet these skills are currently underrepresented
among students in South Africa on Coursera. A 2019 survey
of businesses in South Africa found that more than 90% were
engaged in digital transformation, yet 44% experienced
difficulty recruiting employees with the requisite skills.104
Cape Town is the headquarters of Naspers, a global consumer
internet group and leading technology investor, and the site of
a growing startup community.105
By incentivizing enrollment
in STEM fields, particularly among women, and adding digital
skills to existing curricula, higher education leaders can help
students seize these emerging opportunities.
Business skills, including project management, risk

As the number of cybersecurity breaches in South Africa
mounts, these students are pursuing skills in cyberattacks
and network security. A wave of digitization across
government, banking, business, and critical infrastructure has
dramatically expanded the attack surface of South Africa’s
software environment. These vulnerabilities, coupled with
the lack of a strong cybersecurity framework, has made
South Africa the victim of the world’s third-highest number
of cybercrimes.108
By building skills in information and data
security, students in South Africa are preparing to meet an
urgent need within their local economy.
