Skills rather than just degrees.

Here are 10 lessons from the book "Skills Rather Than Just Degrees" by Professor Isa Ali Pantami.

  1. In today's rapidly changing world, academic qualifications alone are no longer enough to secure a

      successful career.

  2. Skills are the new currency of the job market and those who possess are the ones most likely to

      succeed.

  3. We must invest in vocational education and training to ensure that our workforce has the skills

      needed to compete in a global economy.

  4. The future belongs to those who can adapt, innovate and learn new skills quickly and efficiently.

  5. A skill-based education system will not only benefit individuals but also businesses, industries and

      the economy as a whole.

  6. We need a paradigm shift from a degree-focused education system to one that focuses on developing

      practical skills and competencies.

  7. Employers today are looking for candidates who can hit the ground running, with the skills and 

      knowledge needed to succeed in their roles.

  8. It's time to rethink our approach to education and prioritise the development of practical skills

      that can be applied in the real world.

  9. Skills are the key to unlocking opportunities, driving innovation and creating a brighter future

      for all.

10. In the modern workplace, success depends not on what degree you have but on what skills you

      bring to the table.
