The Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Higher Ed Summit: Asia Pacific 2023 was held in Kuala Lumpur from 7 to 9 November, addressing the theme “Creating the right outcomes: Universities and the future of work in the Asia Pacific”. IPAO colleagues, along with more than 1,000 academics and administrators from universities in the APAC region, participated in a series of conference activities which provided insights on how universities can increase student readiness for the ever-changing job market and societal needs. Our colleagues also enjoyed and benefitted from networking with delegates from other institutions and QS representatives.
