Sodexo Unveils Top Trends Poised to Disrupt the Education Space
15 Octobre 2018 - 2:59PM
Issy-les-Moulineaux, October 15, 2018 - Sodexo, world
leader of quality of life services, today released its 2018
Sodexo University Trends Report: Five Trends Set
to Impact the Student Journey and Campus. Drawing on insight from a
panel of leading higher education experts as well as Sodexo's
experience providing services to 700 universities globally, it
delivers key trends shaping the student journey and the campus
experience, and how universities can and should be
responding.
The trends identified draw a
roadmap for the ongoing and future development of universities as
places of both learning and personal development, by identifying
the fundamental drivers of students' quality of life behind the
rapidly changing demographics, expectations and behaviours of
university students.
"More than ever the headwinds of
technological, economic and cultural change are impacting the way
students learn and develop. With this rapid change upon us, it is
incumbent on all university stakeholders - not only institutions
themselves, but also public authorities, parents, partners and
suppliers - to work together to support students and contribute to
a successful on-campus experience." said
Satya-Christophe Menard, CEO, Sodexo Schools & Universities
Worldwide. "By drawing on experience and a
range of research, Sodexo can guide our clients to effective
solution-based action." |
This year's report focuses on five interrelated
topics, with a core focus on the changing role of universities, and
what they must do to engage with a new generation of students. The
featured 2018 Sodexo University Trends are:
-
Beyond academics: Changing
economic, political, social, digital, cultural and environmental
forces are evolving the work landscape. "Preparing students" takes
on an expanded mandate beyond academic education, to include
personal development and extracurricular offerings.
-
Engaging first-generation
students: A new generation of students is emerging from the
growing middle class, and universities are working to recognise and
support them - with clear benefits beyond the individual
experience.
-
Enhancing student experiences
with technology: Today's college students are digital natives:
they expect technological touchpoints through recruitment, studying
and post-graduation.
-
Evolving brick-and-mortar
universities: Global growth in student population, access to
technology and student mobility is changing the way they experience
physical campuses. Universities are increasingly offering blended
and customised models.
-
Lifelong learning: As
technology changes the workplace, education is moving from the
traditional 'one-and-done' model to a broader audience including
adults and senior residents looking to keep up. Universities are
exploring how to connect, provide for and inspire remote learners,
working adults and returning students.
