High-Impact Experiential Learning for the Future of Work

High‑impact experiential learning plays a critical role in preparing students with the skills, adaptability, and global perspective needed for meaningful careers. Grounded in the dynamic professional and innovation landscape of Cape Town, this session highlights scalable models of internships and research that emphasize intentional design, mentorship, reflection, and cross‑cultural engagement while expanding access for a broader range of students. Participants will examine how thoughtfully structured experiential opportunities can be delivered at scale, and how internships and research placements develop transferable skills such as problem‑solving, communication, collaboration, and ethical decision‑making that are essential for the future of work.
