This issue contributes to the future skills gap of professionals for our technology-driven world. Consequently there is a growing vendor qualifications market; creditability of digital wallets and their global acceptance. We propose a new CS curriculum business value model comprising academia; embedded yearly industry qualifications; annual short placements (increased employer engagement); industrial placement; an extended academic year; fees (marginal increase). Benefits include: expediting graduates to achieve their long-term goals; skills gap minimised; and employers recruiting ready professionals. 2020-10-07T15:54:43Z 2020-10-27T07:35:11Z 2020-10-07T15:54:43Z 2020-10-27T07:35:11Z 2019-01-30 2020-10-07T14:54:45Z Presentation Published version Panesar K (2019) New extended Computer Science curriculum model: USE-VQP-VCP (University, Students and Employers – Vendor Qualification Providers – Value Chain Partnership).
