Book Workforce Readiness and the Future of Work

Download or read book Workforce Readiness and the Future of Work written by Fred Oswald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workforce readiness is an issue that is of great national and societal importance. For the United States and other countries to thrive in a globally interconnected environment of wide-ranging opportunities and threats, the need to develop and maintain a skilled and adaptable workforce is critical. National investments in job training and schools remain essential in stimulating businesses and employment agencies to collaborate productively with educators who provide both training and vocational guidance. Workforce Readiness and the Future of Work argues that the large-scale multifaceted efforts required to ensure a reliable and strong supply of talent and skill in the U.S. workforce should be addressed systematically, simultaneously, and systemically across disciplines of thought and levels of analysis. In a four-part framework, the authors cover the major areas of: education in the K-12, vocational, postsecondary, and STEM arenas; economic and labor market considerations; employment, organizations, and the world of work; laws, policies, and budgets at the federal, state, local, and military levels. With contributions from leading scholars, this volume informs high-priority workforce effectiveness issues of current and future concern and concrete research, practice, and policy directions to generate novel insights of a multilevel and system-wide nature.

  • ISBN : 1612509894

Download or read book Beyond the Skills Gap written by Matthew T. Hora and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can educators ensure that young people who attain a postsecondary credential are adequately prepared for the future? Matthew T. Hora and his colleagues explain that the answer is not simply that students need more specialized technical training to meet narrowly defined employment opportunities. Beyond the Skills Gap challenges this conception of the “skills gap,” highlighting instead the value of broader twenty-first-century skills in postsecondary education. They advocate for a system in which employers share responsibility along with the education sector to serve the collective needs of the economy, society, and students. Drawing on interviews with educators in two- and four-year institutions and employers in the manufacturing and biotechnology sectors, the authors demonstrate the critical importance of habits of mind such as problem solving, teamwork, and communication. They go on to show how faculty and program administrators can create active learning experiences that develop students’ skills across a range of domains. The book includes in-depth descriptions of eight educators whose classrooms exemplify the effort to blend technical learning with the cultivation of twenty-first-century habits of mind. The study, set in Wisconsin, takes place against the backdrop of heated political debates over the role of public higher education. This thoughtful and nuanced account, enriched by keen observations of postsecondary instructional practice, promises to contribute new insights to the rich literature on workforce development and to provide valuable guidance for postsecondary faculty and administrators.

Book Understanding Training Program Effectiveness

Download or read book Understanding Training Program Effectiveness written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past two decades presented significant economic challenges for Canadians without a post-secondary credential. Individuals with low education and skills are more likely to be unemployed than their more educated counterparts and when they are unemployed take longer to become re-employed (Hansen, 2007). In the context of the current global financial crisis, the importance of the education and skills gap is even more significant. Economic restructuring and associated large-scale permanent job losses in the manufacturing sector means that retraining will likely be required for large numbers of low-skilled and semi-skilled, long-tenured workers. In the past, some observers questioned whether training for low-skilled adults is an effective strategy (see Heckman, 2000). Now with mounting evidence of changing and rising skill requirements, the question has become not whether training works but which training works for which kinds of individuals under which kinds of circumstances. In other words, the effectiveness of training programs is likely to depend on the interaction between program design and delivery, individual needs and capabilities, and broader structural features of the policy and economic environment.
