Talks@eTeach: IU's Job Readiness Framework
Talks@eTeach: From Graduate Profile to Degree Program: Induced Learning as a Design Principle for Future Skills.
For a long time, “future skills” were a vague promise at universities. We trust that students will somehow develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate. AI challenges this assumption: What must people be able to do on their own? In what areas can AI enhance their abilities? And what tasks can be delegated to AI without relinquishing responsibility?
This presentation shows how IU (International University) uses the Job Readiness Framework to translate these questions into specific learning objectives, assignments, and assessment formats; what changes this brings for faculty and students; and what challenges and unanswered questions remain.
Brief Biography:
Prof. Dr. Kamal Bhattacharya is Vice President for Research and Technology Transfer and a professor of computer science at IU International University. His work combines research, technology transfer, and the development of future-oriented skills. Previously, he spent many years in industrial research at IBM, where his work focused on software engineering, process optimization, and cloud computing, among other areas. He also founded several startups and worked as a consultant. At IU, he focuses in particular on how universities can prepare students for a workforce increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. He plays a key role in developing the Job Readiness Framework, which aims to systematically integrate AI and future skills into university education and make them measurable.
