“The digital economy is huge and creating lots of new types of university courses. Someone who’s not engaged in that kind of world will think ‘oh, well, that’s a Mickey Mouse course’, but actually that’s where industry is at.”
Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of Universities UK.
I of course agree that training for roles in the digital economy is vital. The problem seems to be making sure this training is grounded skills employers actually want, rather than trying to make it into a pseudo-academic exercise, which often seems to be the approach of “vocational” courses, especially in IT/computer science.
