Minor Hotels celebrates International Chef’s Day with South African Chefs making…graduation ceremonies which took place on Saturday, 7 October 2023 at Durban ICC and Saturday, 14 October at Gallagher Convention Centre sparked Regent Business School’s Enrolment Manager, Brandon Govender to share some insights on the role of a business school in equipping the 21st century graduate for the workplace.
Regent Business School’s commitment to preparing graduates for the 21st-century workplace is unwavering. In this new era, the importance of soft skills and adaptability cannot be overstated. Today’s graduates need to be equipped with what are often referred to as ‘21st-century skills’, encompassing learning skills, literacy skills, and life skills.
It is important to remember that well-rounded and effective graduates require more than just the theoretical knowledge. The rapid pace of change in the 21st century requires graduates to be flexible and adaptable with well-developed life skills including flexibility, leadership, and social skills. They need to be open to new ideas, willing to take risks, and able to learn from failure.
The shift towards contemporary skills is not just about staying relevant; it’s about preparing students for the realities of the modern world. It’s about equipping them with the skills they need to thrive in diverse cultures and organisations. And most importantly, it’s about ensuring that our graduates are ready to seize the opportunities of the present day and turn the challenges of our time into avenues for innovation and growth.
In the face of these challenges and opportunities, adaptability is key. The ability to learn and adapt is arguably the most important skill for graduates today. This adaptability includes the ability to learn new technologies, to adapt to new work environments, and continually update their skills in response to changing demands.
