FHE understands the critical importance of all graduates to be better prepared to adjust to the emergent and changing demands of a fast-paced economy. There is certain to be further changes within the workplace as we progress from the 4th Industrial Revolution, moving into the 5th Industrial Revolution. Presently, we may be unaware of how these changes may impact on the future of jobs and graduates obtaining job’s and retaining these jobs, but we can endeavour to prepare for these changes.
Challenging conditions face workers related to economic conditions, technology playing a bigger role in business and related sectors; the effect of online services and the recent high retrenchments in all sectors, increased unemployment, and the lack of available skills in project management. An emerging need for skilled project managers is the requirement of many businesses.
It is in this context that FHE, as a private higher education institution, will make its programmes available to all students in South Africa, where each programme will meaningfully contribute towards developing the skills in graduates’, contributing to life-long learning.
