About this product
Product Information
An extraordinary confluence of forces stemming from automation and digital technologies is transforming both the world of work and the ways we educate current and future employees to contribute productively to the workplace. The Great Skills Gap opens with the premise that the exploding scope and pace of technological innovation in the digital age is fast transforming the fundamental nature of work. Due to these developments, the skills and preparation that employers need from their talent pool are shifting. The accelerated pace of evolution and disruption in the competitive business landscape demands that workers be not only technically proficient, but also exceptionally agile in their capacity to think and act creatively and quickly learn new skills. This book explores how these transformative forces are--or should be--driving innovations in how colleges and universities prepare students for their careers. Focused on the impact of this confluence of forces at the nexus of work and higher education, the book's contributors--an illustrious group of leading educators, prominent employers, and other thought leaders--answer profound questions about how business and higher education can best collaborate in support of the twenty-first century workforce.

Reviews
"Few topics have generated as much attention as the future of work, yet we have given almost no attention to the bigger role that higher education plays in supporting careers. The Great Skills Gap is the first book to take on that question by offering a comprehensive assessment of the challenges and opportunities facing higher education from all perspectives. A must-read for those interested in its future."--Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor Professor of Management, Director of Center for Human Resources, University of Pennsylvania, " The Great Skill Gap: Optimizing Talent for the Future of Work is a worthy bookshelf addition for anyone concerned about meeting the labour needs of tomorrow: employers, continuing education instructors, undergraduate educators, workers themselves, and even legislators."--Eric A. Sader, International Review of Education
