Future Learning and Work Environments for Graduates

Future Learning Environment for Students (X Axis) x Future Working Environment for Graduates (Y-Axis)
This chart combines responses to two questions to create an interactive scatter plot. This chart presents the average results based on all respondents. You can hover over the chart to reveal more information on each circle. The chart is structured as follows:

  • X-Axis is the response to the question “When thinking about the future educational environment for students, do you think the learning environment will be more challenging or easier? (Scale: -5 = Much more challenging; 0 = About the same; +5 = Much easier)
  • Y-Axis is the response to the question “When thinking about the future work environment that graduates will face, do you think the environment will be more challenging or easier?” (Scale: -5 = Much more challenging; 0 = About the same; +5 = Much easier)

Key things to note:

  • This chart shows that the majority of respondents think that both the educational and work environments will be more challenging for students and graduates in the future.
  • Anticipating that educational and work environments will be more challenging for students and graduates in the future, the strategic planning process will need to tease out those strategies that will enable students and graduates to tackle these environments successfully.
