 In this episode, we delve into a groundbreaking study conducted by Drs. Ward and Pillay, focusing on the alignment of academic curricula with the evolving needs of the South African retail sector. Discover the two-phase research approach that included comprehensive desktop research and insightful interviews with industry professionals and academics.

We explore the key findings that highlight the challenges of outdated curricula, lack of emerging technology integration, and the insufficient work-readiness of graduates. Join us as we unpack the proposed strategies for better alignment, such as enhancing industry-academia collaboration, modernising assessment methods, and establishing work-integrated learning mechanisms.

Listen in to understand the importance of fostering mutual respect, open communication, and digital integration. Learn how these recommendations aim to prepare graduates for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, increase curriculum visibility, and ultimately enhance employability.

This episode offers a detailed look at how collaborative efforts can lead to stronger industry-academia partnerships and broader economic and social benefits for South Africa.
