Institute for Workplace Skills & Innovation America
The Jim Bohannon Show –
Currently America has 9.1 unemployed people and 4.8 million job unfilled. Nicolas Wyman and Jim Bohannnon discuss this labour market mismatch and its implication for the future of education and our attitude towards it. While European countries such as Switzerland view education as a life long pursuit, the days of attaining a single qualification and not retraining or upskilling seem to be disappearing as technology advances and job requirements rapidly change.
The world is changing around us. How do you equip yourself with skills to keep in contention with current and future job requirements.
Author and CEO Nicholas Wyman Talks to Q104.3’s Shelli Sonstein about future proofing your career prospects, training while you are working, and planning for your job future. Nicholas discusses where the current unfilled jobs are and the how to get the skills that employers are looking for as well as the new developing education models that equip graduates with real world job specific skills.
