Book excerpt: The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science is among the world's premier supporters of basic research. The Office of Science enables the U.S. to maintain its competitive edge by funding science that can transform its energy future, supports its national security and seeks to understand the fundamentals of matter and energy itself. To do this the Department of Energy, and the Nation as a whole, need extraordinary scientific and technical talent on a scale to match the competitor countries. However, the Nation's ability to create sufficient talent has eroded. The National Academy of Sciences' "Rising Above the Gathering Storm" report confirms the vital role that a highly skilled technical workforce plays in an innovation economy such as the United States', but warns that the U.S. has not done enough to prepare the next generation of technical workers for careers in the new global economy. The Office of Science is prepared to help address this challenge. Each year, hundreds of thousands of students of all ages--from kindergarten to mid-career scientists--have participated in the educational and workforce development programs sponsored at laboratories. These students could become the core of the Nation's future technical workforce. However, a coherent, overarching strategy is necessary to maximize the efficiency and impact of programs. The strategic plan presented in this document provides this overarching strategy. Four primary strategic areas have emerged from the planning process. Each area focuses on a different part of workforce development: educators, students, workers, and the building of program capacity. Individual sections contain footnotes. [This paper was created by the DOE's Office of Science.].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial-organizational psychologists increasingly advise organizations on talent planning, executive succession, workplace design, and better ways to ensure the future supply of talent: a suite of practice areas that comprise strategic workforce planning (SWP). This volume provides an overview of SWP, covering best practices across organization types, geographies, and methodologies, and addressing new directions in the field. Contributors share case examples and experience-based insights, spanning the evolution of SWP, best practices for analytics and consulting, maturity models, how SWP can be practiced in large companies inside and outside the United States, in high- and low-growth environments, and when to organize around planning for future tasks vs planning for future roles. As well as discussing changes in the workforce and workplace due to global disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of quickly evolving technologies, this book re-examines what SWP is and can be, how it is conducted, and what impact it can have on individual organizations and beyond.

Download or read book The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Klaus Schwab and published by Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.

Book excerpt: The future competitiveness of the United States in an increasingly interconnected global economy depends on the nation fostering a workforce with strong capabilities and skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). STEM knowledge and skills enable both individual opportunity and national competitiveness, and the nation needs to develop ways of ensuring access to high-quality education and training experiences for all students at all levels and for all workers at all career stages. The National Science Foundation (NSF) holds a primary responsibility for overseeing the federal government's efforts to foster the creation of a STEM-capable workforce. As part of its efforts in this endeavor, NSF's Directorate on Education and Human Resources asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a workshop that would contribute to NSF's preparation of a theoretical and evidence-based STEM Workforce Development R&D Core Framework. Participants discussed research themes, identified gaps and emerging research opportunities, and recommended refinements in the goals of the framework. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
