Join Edalex and the Council for Aid to Education (CAE) for an open and informative discussion on the 12 July at 6:00pm (EDT) / 13 July at 8:00am (AEST) between education and research leaders on the importance of measuring learning outcomes of essential academic and workplace skills.

The panel participants will explore the gap between the knowledge and skills learners graduate with and what is actually needed for success in the workplace. They will also discuss understanding solutions for closing the gap by providing learners with personal credentials that hold meaning in job markets.

Edalex are thrilled to be featured in the next Open Skills Network Showcase on the 21 July at 4:00pm (EST) / 22 July at 6:00am (AEST) on the topic of “RSDs, Skills, and the Global Skills-Based Movement”.

Melinda O’Halloran and I will discuss our recent experience participating in an OSN Skills Collaborative Project - where, in collaboration with industry and HE leaders, we explored leveraging and implementing Rich Skill Descriptor (RSD) libraries in the Australian education and employment ecosystem. Besides, our session will also cover:

• The launch of our openRSD - an open access library for the creation, storage and sharing of RSDs
• The growth of the Skills Ecosystem in Australia - the challenges and opportunities they and others have encountered
• How stakeholders across the spectrum are working together to progress the enablement of an open skills environment

The Melbourne EdTech Summit is a two-day thought leadership program. Edalex are thrilled to present an interactive panel discussion: "All Learning Counts - Skills Recognition of Non-Formal Learning and Aligning to Formal Learning Pathways" on the 9 August at 1:30pm (AEST) at Deakin Downtown.

In this session, the panellists will discuss what learning and recognition means for learning organisations such as Scouts Australia and what it means in the context of Australian frameworks. They explore the challenges of recognising and representing informal and non-formal learning and the provision of pathways for learners to formal learning outcomes. They detail the technology enablement of skills recognition through mapping and aligning skills data using open data standards to achieve scale.

Co-hosted by Edalex and The Bean Centre, Skills Meet-Ups provide an open forum for skills leaders and practitioners to meet, share ideas, address challenges and progress the Skills Ecosystem vision. 

Participants will have the opportunity to work in small groups to address real-world skills challenges and key outcomes will be shared with State and National education and skills policymakers.
