On 23rd September 2024, Landmark Education, in collaboration with Macquarie University, Australia, organized a guest lecture at Kathmandu College of Management (KCM). The session featured Dr. Prashan S.M. Karunaratne, Course Director of Macquarie Business School, who delivered an insightful presentation on “Employability Skills in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”

Dr. Karunaratne discussed how AI is transforming the job market, emphasizing the need for adaptability, digital literacy, and critical thinking as essential skills for future employability. He highlighted that while AI automates routine tasks, it also creates new opportunities for those proficient in human-centered skills such as creativity, emotional intelligence, and complex problem-solving.

Students attending the session were provided with practical advice on how to position themselves in a rapidly evolving global job market. Dr. Karunaratne encouraged students to continuously upskill and embrace lifelong learning, a crucial strategy in staying relevant in the age of AI.

The event was a valuable opportunity for students to engage with an expert in the field and gain a deeper understanding of the future of work. It also underscored the importance of international academic partnerships in shaping the next generation of professionals.

This lecture marks another milestone in the ongoing collaboration between Macquarie University and Landmark Education, both committed to promoting global education and equipping students with the tools to succeed in a competitive world.
