The document discusses the skills gap in the United States and Massachusetts labor markets. There are more job openings than unemployed workers due to a mismatch between the skills employers need and what workers have. This skills gap was caused by changes in educational attainment levels over time. The document recommends actions for government and businesses to address the skills gap, such as reforming education and job training programs, increasing partnerships between employers and educators, and providing more opportunities for on-the-job training and internships.
Aligning the skills system with employer demandOECD CFE
The document outlines a vision for reforming the UK's skills system to better align with employer demand and priorities. It argues the current system is overly complex, subject to constant change, and lacks employer and employee voice. The reformed system would see employers take ownership of skills through industrial partnerships to create job opportunities and growth aligned with strategic priorities. This is needed due to skills shortages, underuse of existing skills, and limited work-based training pathways restricting competitiveness and investment. The document calls for employers to lead on skills, workplace productivity to drive prosperity, and stronger connections between education and employers to prepare people for work.
The document discusses challenges for youth employment in the Caribbean region. It notes that while educational attainment has increased, the education system does not adequately develop skills needed in today's society. Test scores are low and content is often disconnected from economic needs. Globalization has increased youth aspirations that do not match local realities. However, countries are working to reform education and offer training programs to improve employability and entrepreneurship opportunities for out-of-school youth. Key discussions highlighted how the education system stifles creativity and does not adapt to gender differences, with boys facing particular challenges. Reforms are needed to diversify teaching areas and incorporate skills like ICT.
This document discusses increasing youth employability in India. It identifies gaps between education and practical skills, poor teaching quality, and economic barriers to education. It proposes solutions like aptitude testing, workshops on trends, practical learning, entrepreneurship training, and public-private partnerships to upgrade schools. Key implementation strategies include increasing education spending, more scholarships, job training institutes, and improving teacher quality to build employable skills and close the gap between education and employment. Challenges include funding requirements, though investing in education is seen as long-term investment in the economy and growth.

Entrepreneurship Education: A Guide for EducatorsManual de empreendedorismoMario Verissimo
This manual aims to showcase a selection of examples of inspiring practice featured through the two events to a wider audience. It highlights the enablers and the successfactors of the examples, and provides contact details for more information.
Billions have been invested in ed tech but it has failed to solve key problems. Vivagogy proposes an online system that tracks both formal and informal learning to match skills to jobs, helping learners find jobs and employers find qualified candidates. It would provide free learning resources and tools while generating revenue from employers who access the candidate database and profiling tools, saving on training and recruitment costs. This integrates education and employment while benefiting all stakeholders.
This document evaluates whether college is worth the investment by examining how return on college investment (ROCI) is measured. It discusses the controversy around the purpose of college and if colleges adequately prepare students for the workforce. While some employers report difficulty finding qualified graduates or would hire non-degree candidates, studies show individuals with college degrees generally earn more money over their lifetimes. The ROI of a college degree depends on a student's major, performance, and institution attended. Improving student success and access to college could help increase returns.
This document summarizes research on inspiring youth enterprise. It profiles three young entrepreneurs - Jason Gibbs who founded a university comparison website, Irina Alionte who started fitness events in nightclubs, and Emma Agese who created a natural hair product line. The entrepreneurs overcame challenges through determination, mentors, and tapping resources like start-up loans. Youth face barriers to entrepreneurship like lack of business knowledge and fear of failure. The report advocates for enterprise education that teaches practical skills over theory and spotlights real businesses. It concludes with recommendations to support young entrepreneurs.
ProEd Academy is a tutoring and personal development academy proposed for Khayelitsha, South Africa. It aims to address declining quality of education in the country by providing unique, interactive tutoring sessions along with workplace visits and guest speakers. The founders recognize South Africa's poor performance in math and science education despite its economic strength. Their academy would be located centrally near several schools and offer affordable tutoring to help nurture students' talents and abilities.
The document proposes the formation of a "Consortium" between Accenture, Ashoka, employers, and social innovators. The Consortium aims to create a better workforce by attracting and retaining talent, employing diverse teams, bridging skills gaps, and changing systems to impact millions of workers. Member employers will gain access to talent pipelines, share best practices, and help scale innovative programs to upskill young workers. Ashoka will select 5-9 social innovators to support through the Consortium over three years, with a goal of upskilling 50,000 workers.
CareerWise Colorado is the first statewide modern youth-apprenticeship system in the nation. Based on the Swiss apprenticeship system, its inaugural class launched in June of 2017 in pathways such as Financial Services, IT, Business Operations, Healthcare and Advanced Manufacturing.
The document discusses how the modern workforce values skills over degrees, as the global economy and job market changes rapidly. It states that many recent college graduates lack jobs that match their education level, and that employers feel colleges do a poor job preparing students. A "next generation smart school" is proposed that would track and assess students' acquisition of technical and soft skills in real-time, connect students to employers, and incentivize skill-building to produce graduates ready for this new skills-based economy. The document introduces LeaderLync as a unified platform to help schools transform in this way and showcase students' competitive skills to potential employers.
This document summarizes a conference on skills development in higher education. It discusses challenges facing higher education like skills shortages and limited resources. It recommends internships to help students apply knowledge in practice and reduce youth unemployment. The objectives of training and skills policy are improving economic competition and social inclusion. Examples are given of how companies gain competitive advantage through enhanced workforce skills. The quality and cost of skills training in countries like China and India is discussed. Overall the document examines skills training approaches and their role in addressing economic and social issues.
The document discusses how the modern workforce values skills over degrees, as the world and job market change rapidly. It notes that 75% of college graduates do not find jobs in their field of study, and 40% of employers feel colleges do not adequately prepare students. It introduces the concept of a "Next Generation Smart School" that would track and teach technical skills, workforce skills, leadership, and collaboration to produce graduates ready for today's jobs. The document promotes a skills-tracking platform called LeaderLync that aims to help schools transform into these "Next Generation Smart Schools" and better prepare students for the changing job market.
This document summarizes the findings of a study that examined teachers involved in enterprise circles in Slovenia and compared them to a control group of teachers. The study found that teachers leading the enterprise circles were more critical of an overemphasis on administrative work like business plans. They were also more open to students' ideas, made more use of technology, and believed their schools were less tolerant of mistakes compared to the control teacher group. The findings suggest teachers leading innovative programs have a different perspective that could encourage more creativity in schools.
The document discusses the EU's efforts to address high youth unemployment in Europe. It outlines several key initiatives:
1) The Youth Employment Package aims to help EU members tackle unacceptable levels of youth unemployment by ensuring young people receive offers of jobs, education or training within four months of leaving school or becoming unemployed.
2) The Youth Employment Initiative provides extra support for young people under 25 in regions with youth unemployment over 25% in 2012.
3) The Youth Guarantee aims to ensure young people under 25 receive a good quality offer of employment, education, apprenticeship or traineeship within four months of leaving school or becoming unemployed.
4) Other initiatives discussed include New Skills for New Jobs, Education
The document discusses the large skills gap in India and challenges in developing skills. It notes that while India has a large young population, only 5% receive formal skills training, and only 10-25% of graduates are employable. There is a mismatch between the skills taught and industry needs. It proposes integrating skills development into the education system, making industry internships mandatory, and using innovative models like online learning to help skill millions in India. The Wadhwani Foundation aims to place millions in jobs through entrepreneurship support and skills training programs that leverage technology.
The OECD Action Plan for Youth aims to tackle high youth unemployment and strengthen long-term employment prospects for youth. The plan includes measures to boost job creation and support for unemployed youth. It also focuses on strengthening education, vocational training, and support for transitioning to the workforce. The OECD is committed to working with countries to implement national and local plans through activities like workshops on best practices, short policy notes, and more comprehensive country reviews. The goal is to help youth acquire skills and access quality employment opportunities.
The document summarizes the Situational Language Teaching (SLT) method. Some key points:
- SLT focuses on teaching language structures and vocabulary through oral repetition and drills led by the teacher.
- Lessons typically involve practicing pronunciation, learning new material, and oral exercises with little learner control.
- Critics say SLT does not allow for learner creativity or uniqueness in language use.

'ePortfolios for Employability- Promoting Career Learning through Business Engagement' (Kirstie Coolin, CIePD, University of Nottingham)
Abstract accepted for paper number 40 ALT-C 2012
This document discusses the skills gap facing the GCC countries and strategies to address it. It notes that while GCC countries are investing heavily in education, there remains a fundamental misalignment between the skills employers need and what the education system provides. It identifies four key areas to focus on: aligning curricula with employer needs; providing career information; developing workforce skills through experience and training; and encouraging a culture of employment, innovation and entrepreneurship. The document recommends specific actions that governments, the private sector, and education systems can take to collaborate better and ensure the workforce has the necessary skills.
