Munster Technological University (MTU) continues to strengthen its position as a leader in postgraduate research, offering unique opportunities for PhD students to engage with employers across academia, industry, government, and entrepreneurship. Through its strong ties to regional business and innovation ecosystems, MTU enables postgraduate researchers to gain hands-on experience and build valuable industry connections throughout their studies. This year, the vast majority of the 47 postgraduate researchers who graduated from MTU with PhD or Master degrees secured jobs in Ireland's innovation-driven economy, underscoring the University's focus on preparing students for both traditional and non-traditional career paths. MTU's commitment to research training is exemplified by its participation in the national roll-out of the Higher Education Authority (HEA) Odyssey Programme, a new initiative aimed at enhancing the career development of PhD students. As one of the first institutions to join the programme, MTU is aligning with the national ambition of IMPACT 2030 - Ireland's Research and Innovation Strategy - which seeks to improve career pathways and maximise the impact of researchers across various sectors. The Odyssey Programme, originally developed by UCC, is a two-day immersive experience designed to prepare final-year PhD students for seamless mobility across diverse employment sectors. A cohort of MTU PhD students have successfully participated in the Odyssey Programme which offers an additional opportunity for these students to participate in an Enterprise Ireland (EI) Research Development and Innovation (RDI) industry pilot programme called PhDStart. This is a new strand within the EI GradStart Programme which offers financial and practical supports to assist companies to hire innovative PhD graduates. In addition to the Odyssey Programme, MTU offers a range of accredited in-house research career development programmes to its PhD and Master by Research students, including modules such as Design Your Future, Research Postgraduate Placement, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. These programmes are designed to help MTU postgraduate researchers develop key transferable skills, further enhancing their employability and impact. "There has never been a more exciting time to join MTU's diverse and inclusive research community to pursue your postgraduate education," said Professor Hugh McGlynn, Vice President for Research and Innovation at MTU. "Our PhD and Master students hail from 29 countries worldwide, with many of their programmes delivered in collaboration with enterprise partners and international universities. MTU has the largest research budget in the technological university sector, with an annual research expenditure exceeding €30 million. Nearly €2 million of this funding comes from collaborative industry partners, highlighting the excellence and impact of our research." Dr Siobhán Mac Sweeney, Head of Research at MTU's Kerry Campus and Coordinator of the MTU Odyssey Programme, said: "As part of its ongoing commitment to postgraduate research, MTU is currently recruiting 20 fully funded PhD students under the Technological University Research and Innovation Supporting Enterprise (TU RISE) scheme. In 2025, MTU will be expanding its offerings and recruiting additional Master by Research students and postdoctoral researchers through this programme. If you are interested in joining MTU's dynamic research community across our six campuses in Cork and Kerry, please keep an eye on our webpage for details of all fully funded opportunities available."

Key Moments: Leveraging Generative AI for work? Start by asking the right questions (04:13) What's in store for the future world of work (18:18) How Generative AI can expand humans' divergent thinking (26:16) Taking people and culture along the Generative AI journey (31:20) The value of diversity in data (42:00)A tale of mentorship (44:20)Key Quotes: “With Generative AI, now we have a command line interface that's allowed us to converse, which is so core and essential to who we are as humans. The ability to be able to talk to one another. That's allowed us to survive for thousands and thousands of years and evolve.”“I think that there's a lot of greater potential in terms of expanding our own creativity and strategic thinking. So while humans have flexible and moldable brains and we have neuroplasticity that allows us to learn new things, we have to put ourselves in those environments. AI is really good at divergent thinking. So when we think about creativity, a core aspect of that is divergent thinking. What comes to mind when you think of a tree? Maybe leaves and fruit. Divergent thinking is thinking of all the outside things, like sunshine and soil, that may be associated with the tree or that tree growth. There's a lot more potential that we've yet to unlock in terms of updating our own thinking to expand our own divergent and creative thinking” “We know that when we have more diverse teams where everyone feels that they can speak up, and you get better ideas. You get more collaboration. So having that core vision of what is that culture and environment that you want to have is really key” Mentions: Women in DataHuman Machine Collaboration Institute Beyond AI Exposure: Which Tasks are Cost-Effective to Automate with Computer Vision?Dialect Prejudice Predicts AI Decisions About People's Character, Employability, and CriminalityAWS: What Are AI Agents?Women in Data Climate Sustainability Datathon 2023 The Creative Way: A Way of BeingBio: Sadie St. Lawrence  is on a personal mission to create a more compassionate and connected world through technology. Having grown up on a farm in Iowa she witnessed first-hand how advancements in technology rapidly changed how we work and earn a living, which in turn affected the overall success of a community. In addition, Sadie was homeschooled her entire childhood which led to a unique perspective in self-directed learning approaches and out of the box thinking.Sadie holds a diverse education having degrees in piano performance, psychology, and data science, but at her core she has always been a teacher. In 2014 she transitioned from working in a neuroscience lab studying emotional learning and memory, to working in data science. During her time as a data scientist, she went on to lead data science teams and consult for Fortune 500 companies in AI. Through her work, she noticed that while many organizations and individuals have good intentions when it comes to D&I in data careers, there was a lack of progress.Today, Sadie's work is focused on educating individuals in technology, increasing access and pathways for all people and creating a more equal future for all.

In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed podcast, Drumm McNaughton welcomes back Dr. Zack Mabel, Research Professor and Director of Research, and Kathryn Campbell, Associate Director of Editorial Policy and Senior Editor/Writer, from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW). They discuss the findings of CEW's recent report, "The Great Misalignment: Addressing the Mismatch Between the Supply of Certificates and Associates Degrees and the Future Demand for Workers in the U.S. Labor Markets," which highlights the severe disconnect between the credentials higher education institutions are producing and the skills employers need in the workforce. Key Discussion Points The Extent of the Misalignment: Only 50% of colleges use labor market data to guide program development or share the information with prospective students. To align with projected labor market demand through 2031, at least 50% of middle-skill credentials would need to be granted in different fields of study in half of the nation's local labor markets. Importance of Labor Market Alignment for Middle Skills Providers: Misalignment between credentials produced and employer needs varies substantially across regions. Perfect alignment may not be realistic, but the magnitude of the mismatch shows considerable room for improvement. Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Access to Aligned Programs: American Indian and Alaska Native adults are 3 to 18 times more likely to live in a community with no local middle-skill provider. Among those living near middle-skill institutions, Hispanics are the least likely to reside in communities with a strong alignment between credential production and workforce demand. Strengthening Career Counseling and Transfer Pathways: The current counseling system in high schools is understaffed and under-resourced to provide sufficient guidance. Over a quarter of middle-skills students are in liberal arts and sciences programs oriented toward transfer, but fewer than half successfully make that transition within six years. Using Labor Market Data for Program Improvement: Institutions need to utilize labor market data more strategically and systematically. Colleges need sufficient resources and staff expertise to collect, analyze, and translate this information into action. A collaborative regional approach to program development is essential. Three Key Takeaways for University, College, and Community College Presidents and Boards: Explore ways to collaborate with other local education and training providers to optimize the alignment of credentials with labor market demand. Invest heavily in interpersonal connections and support services that help students choose and complete programs leading to high-demand careers. Be vocal about the need for resources and support to effectively utilize labor market data for program improvement.   Read the transcript on our website → https://changinghighered.com/improve-student-employability-the-great-misalignment-report/ #HigherEducation #StudentEmployability #MiddleSkillJobs   About Our Podcast Guests Kathryn Peltier Campbell is Associate Director of Editorial Policy and Senior Editor/Writer at the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.

  In this transformative era for higher education, institutions are at a crossroads, balancing traditional academic rigor with the urgent need for graduates who are immediately employable and adept at upskilling to meet rapidly changing business demands. Miami Dade College (MDC), under the visionary leadership of President Madeline Pumariega, stands out as a beacon of innovation and adaptability. In this podcast, Pumariega offers a compelling model for aligning curriculum with industry needs, embracing technological advancements, and fostering strategic partnerships to secure students' success in the workforce. Madeline Pumariega leads Miami Dade College with profound insights rooted in her 20+ years of experience in higher education and dedication to uplifting low-SES communities and first-generation students through accessible, quality education.    Key Points Overview Strategic Alignment with Industry Needs: How MDC excels in forming alliances with business partners to directly link education with emerging job opportunities. These collaborations ensure that programs are tailored to the skill sets demanded by key sectors, enhancing graduates' employability. Comprehensive Skill Development: The college champions a holistic approach to education that encompasses academic knowledge, employability skills (including internships and apprenticeships), and digital competencies. These three pillars prepare students to be resilient and adaptable in a future-driven job market. Leading the Way in AI Programs: MDC has proactively embraced AI by integrating it into its curriculum and, in 2023, launching programs specifically designed around AI, including a college-credit Certificate in Artificial Intelligence, an Associates in Science in Artificial Intelligence, and the first Bachelors in Artificial Intelligence approved in the state of Florida. The AI program at MDC saw over 400 students enroll, with the average age being 44. Focus on Workforce Readiness: Through specialized programs and certificates, such as those in cloud computing and healthcare, MDC aligns its offerings with the precise needs of local and national employers, ensuring students are ready to contribute meaningfully to their fields upon graduation. Accessibility and Community Engagement: Initiatives like the Idea Center and partnerships with entities like Amazon Web Services, IBM, and the Mark Cuban Foundation demonstrate MDC's commitment to supporting entrepreneurship and small business growth within the community, further enhancing students' real-world learning and job prospects.   Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Presidents and Boards Emphasize Industry Partnerships: Strengthen collaboration with industry leaders to ensure educational programs meet current workforce demands. This engagement fosters alignment between graduates' skills and employers' needs, enhancing employability and opening doors for students to make meaningful contributions in their respective fields. Align Budgets with Strategic Priorities: Clearly define your institution's strategic priorities and ensure that budget allocations reflect these values. Whether focusing on reimagining student success, academic excellence, or innovation, financial resources must support these aims, driving impactful outcomes and institutional growth. Cultivate a Culture of Care: Recognize and nurture your human capital—faculty, staff, and leadership—as their well-being directly influences the student experience and success. A culture that values and supports its members can transform an institution, making it a place where students and staff alike feel valued, engaged, and motivated to achieve excellence.   Final Thoughts MDC's proactive approach to education, characterized by its responsiveness to workforce trends, technological innovation, and commitment to accessibility, serves as a powerful model for institutions aiming to prepare students for rapid employability and workforce demands. Under Madeline Pumariega's leadership, MDC exemplifies how colleges can lead the way in bridging the gap between education and employment, ensuring a brighter future for students and communities alike.   Read the transcript on our website →     About Our Podcast Guest Madeline Pumariega is the first female president appointed to lead one of the nation's largest educational institutions, Miami Dade College (MDC).

In that role, she designed and implemented strategies to keep college accessible and affordable for Floridians, especially for those entering high-demand job fields. In 2019, Pumariega became the executive vice president and provost of Tallahassee Community College.  In her current role as President, Pumariega has prioritized working with business partners to identify the skills needed by key industries and tailoring higher education programs to match those needs. This intentional forming of strategic alliances and job pathways between companies and MDC students accelerates each graduate's ability to enter the workforce immediately. Driving her relentless pursuit is the passion to develop leaders and build thriving communities.
