Employability.life launches new project to give students professional work environment

Education provider Employability.life launched its new experiential microcredentials (XPMCs). XPMCs are agile projects provided by industry experts. These can be added to the education curriculum of institutions and make the students workplace ready, said release. 

The education provider Employability.life formally launched its new experiential microcredentials (XPMCs) which aims to give students “direct experience of professional work environments with an industry-aligned credential". 

As per the release, XPMCs are agile projects provided by industry experts. Learners are supported by project managers who will ensure that professional work is performed in a safe environment. Students also receive professional mentoring to identify personal strengths and develop five key digital economy capabilities: Growth mindset, career intelligence, digital intelligence, cultural intelligence and influence. 

Given that automation threatens 69 per cent of jobs in India (The World Bank) and India’s digital skilled workforce needs to grow nine times by 2025 (Amazon web services), the need for a solution is unquestionable. The XPMCs can be easily added to the formal education curriculum of Indian institutions and make the students workplace ready. More than 60 institutions accounting for over 1,50,000 students are open to adopting XPMCs to enhance the employability of students across the country, the release said. 

Employability.life is registered in Singapore and headquartered in London, with offices also in India and Australia. Focused on the ‘Future of Work’ in a world of rapidly changing technologies and employment requirements, Employability.life provides cutting-edge and flexible solutions for students, graduates and professionals to keep themselves at peak readiness for workplaces, the release added.

The release said the strategic partner for the XPMC product is Federation University Australia, and Employability.life is delighted to launch the project in the presence of their Vice Chancellor and President, Professor Duncan Bentley, and Carolyn Chong, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Global & Engagement), Federation University Australia. 

Through this partnership, Federation University Australia will accredit XPMCs and associated teacher training programmes. Additionally, the collaboration will provide an opportunity for eligible students to visit and work on projects within the IBM emerging technologies hub located on Federation’s campus in Ballarat, Victoria.
