MTAA/ACU Education Roundtable White Paper
Rapid and unpredicted technological disruptions and an aging Australian population are just two contributors to a challenging Medtech environment. These challenges create pressure on Medtech Companies to educate their people in a relevant, flexible and timely way, and to create an innovation culture ready to respond as new disruptors emerge.
The Deloitte Medical Technology Industry Workforce and Skills Review 2016 stated:
“The key theme underpinning these recommendations is the collaboration across industry, government, universities and research and it is required to ensure the measures implemented are long-term, effective and have a lasting impact.”
In response to these challenges and recommendations the MTAA conducted a Roundtable of industry Human Resources and Professional Development professionals at the Australian Catholic University. The Roundtable considered two key questions:
1. How can we educate our people to better face disruption and challenge?
2. What does and an ideal university relationship look like for you and the industry?
This White Paper captures key findings from this discussion.
