BARCELONA — Global development professionals should pursue lifelong learning in order to prepare themselves for future changes in the sector, according to Ebony Lee, managing director of graduate programs at 2U, an educational technology company that works with nonprofit colleges and universities to offer online degree programs.
There is an increasing demand for new roles that are cross-disciplinary and incorporate more technology, data, business, and analytics, Lee said.
“Some jobs are here now that were not 10 years ago,” she said, explaining that this requires those working in the sector to continue building their skill set to be better equipped to do the job required at the highest level.
