Abstract
There is more to the role and developmental impact of higher education than economic development alone. In a rapidly changing and technologically increasingly complex world, one core role for universities is to prepare young people for active participation in work and the economy. Glenda Kruss, Il-haam Petersen and Simon McGrath ask how universities can respond to the changing technological capabilities and skills needs of firms, particularly in relation to their professional and occupational programmes.-
