Education sits at the forefront of societal transformation. The preparation of employable students able to meet the demands of the 4th Industrial Revolution is the foundation for the future. August Leadership operates globally and holistically across the entire higher education sector, from specialist and revolutionary AI and design institutions, to outstanding professionally oriented, renowned research-led, or rapidly advancing new universities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted traditional patterns. International student recruitment has decreased, and hybrid technology-supported learning has transformed the student experience. Simultaneously, faculty are required more than ever to seek external funding and to publish according to the demands of global rankings. These pressures result in the necessity to recruit subject matter experts and seasoned advisors able to forge and lead the rapidly evolving face of higher education.

August has been successful in placing senior higher education leaders where it counts. Our strong networks and deep relationships with candidates across the international market enables us to advise and source leadership from schools, universities, research institutes, public and private foundations, and the ed-tech and education-investment sectors.
