It explores the integration of project-based and skills-based learning in higher education, emphasizing the significance of enhancing student involvement, cultivating critical thinking, and preparing graduates for the contemporary workforce. Project-based and skills-based learning initiatives have been applied in different academic subjects, tailored to specific needs. The importance of technology in project-based and skills-based learning is covered to focus on how it affects collaborative learning, project management, and skill development.
