RMIT University leaders joined this year's Universities Australia Solutions Summit in Canberra.
Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Alec Cameron and Vice-President International Layton Pike contributed to separate sessions exploring some of the sector's most pressing issues.
Meeting changing skills needs
Professor Cameron chaired a panel discussion on the changing nature of skills, education and work.
It brought together leading industry experts, including head of the OECD Centre for Skills El Iza Mohamedou, CEO of Council of Small Business Organisations Australia Skye Cappuccio, and Inspector-General of Aged Care Natalie Siegel-Brown.
"These are rapidly changing times, and a job-for-life is in the past," Professor Cameron said at the event.
"It's increasingly necessary for people to return to further education throughout their working lives.
"And because the skills in demand are also changing at pace, there is this perpetual need for the system to adapt in response."
