An Updated View of Workforce Readiness

If you are in the business of employee training and development, corporate training, or education and training then this is a MUST READ post.

According to the article associated with the link to follow, our incoming workforce will not be adequately equipped to deal with the needs of the 21 century workplace and economy. This is an alarming educational trend and business trend!

Here is the link - go here.

This information presents all sorts of potential challenges. Consider the following areas:
1. how will we hire differently?
2. how will we provide ongoing education and development of current employees that meet these needs?
3. what kind of learning will be offered?
4. what extra pressure and stresses will be put on managers?
5. how will that impact management trends?
6. how will company competition and profitability be effected?

Phew...and that is just off the top of my head. Bottom line, training and developing employees I suspect will be more enhanced, take on a greater role and will require more committed funding than ever before and where one use to consider employee training and development an option or necessary evil in the corporate budget, that will no longer be an option!

I recommend that you read the complete article and consider it's impact from where you sit.
