Help Wanted: “T-Shaped”
Skills to Meet 21st Century Needs
A handful of students within the busi-
ness and engineering schools at San
Jose State University in California are
headed for careers in service-related
industries with an expanded set of
marketable skills. A specially devised
curriculum shared by the two schools
includes instruction in such areas as
service design and computer science,
as well as soft skills electives including
leadership and communication.
The university’s goal is to help stu-
dents develop an array of skills that are
highly prized by organizations in service-
related fields, explains Stephen Kwan at
the university’s College of Business. For
example, he says, “students in the pro-
gram learn how information technolo-
gies can be used to create innovations
within all types of service companies.”
Kwan says students possessing
such versatile skills will enjoy a com-
petitive advantage in their pursuit of
promising careers in the fast-growing
service sector, which represents some
80 percent of the U.S. gross domestic
As employers clamor for
versatile workers who
can wear many hats in
the workplace, business-
es are partnering with
academic institutions
to develop them.

product. Employers will reap the ben-
efits, he adds.
San Jose State is not alone in offering
this interdisciplinary approach, called
the Service Science, Management, and
Engineering (SSME) program. In fact,
it is one of more than 250 universities
that provide SSME-related courses
thanks in large part to IBM.
It was Big Blue that developed the
SSME curriculum in 2003 and that for
the past five years has helped uni-
versity faculties institute it as part
of the IBM Academic Initiative—a
program that helps accredited schools
throughout the world develop a more
competitive workforce. To date, the
expansive IBM initiative has helped
more than 8,500 faculties at 4,000
institutions teach 40,000 courses to
more than 2.5 million students, states
Director Kevin Faughnan.
Indeed, a growing chorus of busi-
ness and academic leaders is seeking
to ensure that tomorrow’s graduates
possess a broad repertoire of compe-
tencies that extend well beyond IT.
“Graduates who want to compete in
the global economy need to be innova-
tive and entrepreneurial, with a focus
on value creation,” says Debra Van
Opstal, senior vice president of programs
and policy with the Washington, D.C.-
based Council on Competitiveness.
“They also need leadership skills and
the flexibility to adapt quickly as
the pace of change accelerates.”
The council, an organization of
CEOs, university presidents, and labor
leaders working to ensure U.S. pros-
perity, has launched an energetic skills
initiative. Similar education and skills

This document proposes developing the first program dedicated to addressing the technology skills gap in Latin America's growing economies. It would offer online courses in fields like AI, data analysis, and algorithmic trading. Participants would take MOOC courses and receive income share agreements to fund the program. The program aims to prepare participants for jobs in multinational corporations and Latin American startups. Case studies on existing income share agreement programs at universities are provided. Financial projections estimate the potential for $50 million in revenue from 1,000 participants over 10 years. The goal is to launch an MVP over the next 6 months to test the model in Colombia.

The Talent Gap Crisis - Is Manufacturing Sexy Enough for the Next Generations? CBIZ, Inc.
Manufacturing employment accounts for 12.8 million jobs in the U.S. Yet, currently about 452,000 manufacturing positions remain vacant across the nation – a staggering statistic. Manufacturers saw this coming more than two decades ago as the retirement of the baby boomer generation began to impact the industry. Compounding the loss of experienced workers, the introduction of new manufacturing technologies, the industry’s persistent image problem and the cultural shift in the demand for work-life balance have catapulted the talent shortage to the industry’s top challenge.

Artificial intelligence has been an eye-popping word that is impacting every industry in the world. With the
rise of such advanced technology, there will be always a question regarding its impact on our social life,
environment and economy thus impacting all efforts exerted towards continuous development. From the
definition, the welfare of human beings is the core of continuous development. Continuous development is
useful only when ordinary people’s lives are improved whether in health, education, employment,
environment, equality or justice. Securing decent jobs is a key enabler to promote the components of
continuous development, economic growth, social welfare and environmental sustainability. The human

The document discusses the forces of change impacting higher education, including rising costs, employer demands for skills, and new technologies. This is creating new competitive pressures and models of education delivery outside traditional universities. To evolve, universities must use technology to enhance teaching and learning, moving beyond just adding technology to courses. This may require new institutional structures that support more flexible models of instruction delivery across time and place, including hybrid online/in-person courses. A successful transition requires investment in new technological and administrative infrastructure to support changing faculty and student needs.

They will provide background information on the public health issue and explain why it is relevant and/or prevalent. They will also determine if some of the factors discussed throughout the course (i.e. urbanization, vulnerable populations, health disparities, social determinants of health, public health ethics, health literacy, etc.) were major factors in the development and implementation of the intervention that they choose to highlight. The groups or individuals will prepare a presentation of their information as well as a paper to depict their findings. The presentation can be in any form including, but not limited to, a PowerPoint presentation, a Prezi, a website, a video recording, etc.

Write What is Right
Each step involved in the comprehensive literature search strategy include evaluating references to help find ideas of sources to use, searching by hand to avoid bias, reading “grey” conference proceedings and/or PhD theses, and contacting authors to get access to unpublished literature.
Each step as it applies to my capstone would be first looking at references from the online article
Study: the kidney shortage kills more than 40,000 people a year
, searching in library books starting with organ donation and leading to the shortage of organs, finding doctors who specialize in kidney transplant and see what their PhD thesis was based up, and contacting Dr. Pasavento who wrote the article
Facing Organ Donor Shortage, Patients Forced to Get Creative
.
The article
The Organ Shortage Crisis in America : Incentives, Civic Duty, and Closing the Gap
discusses how the cadaveric kidney donors are becoming insufficient to meet the needs of those in need of a transplant. The author states
“Nearly 120,000 people are in need of healthy organs in the United States (Flescher, 2018).”
It explains how they are trying to increase living donors to donate to those in need either related or unrelated (Flescher, 2018). The author states,
“Every ten minutes a new name is added to the list, while on average twenty people die each day waiting for an organ to become available.”
With that being said, some ideas include paying those for their kidneys or having them just spend a day at dialysis with a patient.
The article
Relieving the kidney donor shortage
, discusses how kidney transplantation is the only treatment for kidney failure. Having a kidney transplant is cheaper than dialysis, which is only a Band-Aid for kidney failure. Financial incentives are currently an idea to have the amount of living donors increase. This can be beneficial for both the donor and the recipient. The autho.

You will develop a formal information paper that addresses the legal basis of current Department of Homeland Security jurisdiction, mission, and responsibilities. You will need to specifically analyze hazards, to include manmade or technological and naturally occurring hazards, and terrorism, domestic and foreign, in the information paper.
You are an action officer in your local jurisdiction's Office of Homeland Security. This is a recently created office. As a medium-size jurisdiction, the city manager's office has dual responsibilities in many of the leadership and management positions. This is often referred to as being dual-hatted. The chief of police has been assigned as the director of the Office of Homeland Security for the city. She has no prior experience or knowledge of the requirements involved in homeland security and has asked you to provide a formal report on the topic. The chief intends to share this report with other office managers, city department heads, the city manager, and the elected officials of the city (mayor and city council).
Your report is an information paper and should be formatted as such. The report should address the following items:
The legal basis of current Department of Homeland Security jurisdiction, mission, and responsibilities
Legal definitions of hazards, to include manmade or technological and naturally occurring hazards
Legal definitions of terrorism, domestic and foreign
Review of state law and statutes (using your home or residency state) as it applies to hazards
Review of state law and statutes (using your home or residency state) as it applies to terrorism
Summarize your top 5 key points
Provide any recommendations that you may have to your city's leadership concerning homeland security issues

You will create a 10 minute virtual tour of a “cultural museum” that teaches your audience about a particular culture. The museum that you select must be within the United States. For example, The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, Ellis Island, Charles H. Wright African American Museum, etc. You will create a “virtual tour” of the museum by creating a PowerPoint presentation with at least one slide dedicated to each “room” of the museum. You must provide the history of the museum through the use of visual imagery. You might choose to display some of the objects/artifacts that would be included in the museum, audio or video clips related to the spaces, or text that might appear on the displays or signs at the museum. Be sure you have a title slide with the name of the museum you chose on it. Your final product should be very creative AND very realistic. You will have to do extensive research on the museum that you choose. Your audience should walk away from your presentation with the feeling that they have just left the museum. The audience should also gain new information about the culture that they did not know before your presentation. You will also need to submit a reference page using APA format. This should be primarily a visual tour. Please limit any text on slides to short headings and/or bullet points. I do not require any citations for images/photos.

The UN— “A More Perfect Union?”
Considering the readings, video presentations, and your own research, draft a quality 6–7-page research paper on the role, legitimacy, and authority of the UN according to the following prompts, answering in a separate or integrated manner as you wish.
Identify at least 3reasons that states might defend the intrinsic legitimacy of the UN as a governing authority. In reverse, identify at least 3reasons that states might criticize its legitimacy and authority.
In short, make an argument for the limits and possibilities of the UN as a legitimate governing authority in a world of sovereign states.
What is the relationship of the UN to the current international system of states?
Considering the reasons for the creation of the UN after WWII, does it seem driven by political necessity or the political utility? In plainer English, do states need the UN more than the UN needs the states? Or do states both large and small find the UN a useful tool for improving their relative power and legitimacy vis-à-vis other states and global institutions? Is there some position in-between?
Using other sources and extra-Scholar sources (The commentaries, teachings, other writings, etc.) to inform your own reasoning, comment on the compatibility with the idea of
World Government
. [
Attention
: The Instructor does not view the question as rhetorical, nor the answer self-evident. So, reason carefully.] For example, if the logic of collective action under the
Articles of Confederation
—the logic of state sovereignty—failed to secure American liberties as well as the ‘more perfect union’, the new Constitution established by the Framers in 1787 to replace it, effectively requiring states to cede sovereignty to a larger collective authority, why would the same logic of collective action not justify the UN as a ‘more perfect union’ to replace an anarchic system of sovereign states putting the world at risk in a nuclear age?

Help Wanted: “T-Shaped”
Skills to Meet 21st Century Needs
A handful of students within the busi-
ness and engineering schools at San
Jose State University in California are
headed for careers in service-related
industries with an expanded set of
marketable skills. A specially devised
curriculum shared by the two schools
includes instruction in such areas as
service design and computer science,
as well as soft skills electives including
leadership and communication.
The university’s goal is to help stu-
dents develop an array of skills that are
highly prized by organizations in service-
related fields, explains Stephen Kwan at
the university’s College of Business. For
example, he says, “students in the pro-
gram learn how information technolo-

product. Employers will reap the ben-
efits, he adds.
San Jose State is not alone in offering
this interdisciplinary approach, called
the Service Science, Management, and
Engineering (SSME) program. In fact,
it is one of more than 250 universities
that provide SSME-related courses
thanks in large part to IBM.
It was Big Blue that developed the
SSME curriculum in 2003 and that for
the past five years has helped uni-
versity faculties institute it as part
of the IBM Academic Initiative—a
program that helps accredited schools
3. throughout the world develop a more
competitive workforce. To date, the
expansive IBM initiative has helped
more than 8,500 faculties at 4,000
institutions teach 40,000 courses to
more than 2.5 million students, states
Director Kevin Faughnan.
Indeed, a growing chorus of busi-
ness and academic leaders is seeking
to ensure that tomorrow’s graduates
possess a broad repertoire of compe-
tencies that extend well beyond IT.
“Graduates who want to compete in
the global economy need to be innova-
tive and entrepreneurial, with a focus
on value creation,” says Debra Van
Opstal, senior vice president of programs
and policy with the Washington, D.C.-
based Council on Competitiveness.
“They also need leadership skills and
the flexibility to adapt quickly as
the pace of change accelerates.”
The council, an organization of
CEOs, university presidents, and labor
leaders working to ensure U.S. pros-
perity, has launched an energetic skills
initiative. Similar education and skills
development projects are underway
within the Business Roundtable and the
National Association of Manufacturers.
IBM’s academic initiative
Faughnan says the IBM initiative
seeks to fill some of the most critical
talent shortages in business by instill-
4. ing students with a breadth of badly
needed skills, including technological
capabilities. Participating colleges and
universities receive no-cost access to
IBM’s software, courseware, com-
puting capacity, and subject matter
experts on a multitude of technology
and business topics via the web and
face-to-face relationships.
According to Faughnan, the pro-
gram demonstrates how businesses
and universities can partner to address
a wide range of critical skills needs.
For example, he says, IBM views
SSME expertise as vital to meeting this
century’s major business challenges.
“Most economies around the world
are made up of services businesses, yet
most universities had been teaching
in a products and manufacturing con-
text,” he says.
In addition, service companies
have been slow to adopt IT tools
commonly employed by manufac-
turing companies, says Faughnan.
Tools such as computer-aided design
and manufacturing systems, inven-
tory management and control, and
cost accounting systems are critical
to productivity, competitiveness, and
quality in manufacturing, he says. A
comparable set of tools and skills for
the service industry must be devel-
oped and taught, Faughnan believes.
IBM knows well the growing im-
5. portance of the service sector. Once
dependent on the manufacture of
mainframe computers, IBM currently
derives most of its revenues from
consulting and data analytics. With-
in the past decade, it has acquired
nearly 100 firms including consultant
PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Even as Faughnan’s department
chips away at skills-related problems
with free expertise and access to soft-
ware, IBM is providing a more holistic
response with its ubiquitous “Smarter
Planet” campaign that markets solutions
to the world’s information problems.
“T-shaped” skills needed
Faughnan is encouraged by the grow-
ing focus among schools on the de-
velopment of skills that meet today’s
business and IT challenges. It’s a for-
mula that stresses depth and versatility
in knowledge.
“We think all professionals need
to be more multidisciplinary or “T
shaped,” meaning deep in one or more

subjects and broad across many,” he
says. “Professionals for the 21st century
need to possess a combination of skills
so they understand business, technology,
people, and culture.”
Invariably, those requested skills
include a heavy dose of IT as the role
of Web 2.0 technologies and program-
ming prowess takes center stage. “You
can’t be an effective marketer today
without possessing skills in data min-
ing,” says the IBM executive.
San Jose University’s Kwan seconds
that opinion. “Biology and chemistry
students need that horizontal bar just
as much as those in business or infor-
mation systems,” he contends. “The ‘T’
person is not easily outsourced.”
Developing such students is the
thrust of numerous other academic
projects working with the IBM Aca-
demic Initiative:
The acute demand for mainframe
systems engineers means that jobs
await 100 percent of students who
graduate with that skill set from
Illinois State University’s School
of Information Technology, says
Professor Chu Jong. “The use of
mainframes is growing as baby
boomers retire. But first, we must
7. recruit students and let them know
they’re needed,” he says. Working
with the IBM initiative, the school
has designed a curriculum for the
next generation of programmers—
individuals possessing broad com-
puter technology skills as well as
mathematics and communications
skills, and the ability to think logi-
cally and solve problems. The cur-
riculum has been refined with the
help of local partners such as State
Farm Insurance and John Deere.
He says enrollment is increasing
as the negative stereotype of an IT
career dissipates.
Missouri State University is
helping prepare students for
the technology jobs of the
future by working with IBM to
provide the latest IT training and
certifications. By introducing new
courseware around open source
and open standards technologies,
the university is helping
students embrace the concepts
of collaborative innovation
while also gaining exposure to
the IT industry’s cutting-edge
development tools. The project
has led to an increase in job
placements from local companies.
8. IBM is working with New York
City’s Pace University to accelerate
IT skills among students to drive
innovation among local busi-
nesses. The partnership includes
a series of IBM-hosted technology
seminars, faculty education work-
shops, and career mentoring by
Big Blue’s professionals.
The skills gap
At the Council on Competitiveness, the
urgent need to expand interdisciplinary
skills is highlighted in a broad initia-
tive launched in 2008 to address the
country’s future prosperity. As part of
the “Compete 2.0” initiative, the council
will issue a number of benchmarks on
skills demands, skills shortages, and the
capacity for innovation, and entrepre-
neurial activity globally. In addition, it is
partnering with Georgetown University
to roll out a new data system that will
project skills and education needs 15
years into the future.
Council vice president Van Opstal
says the T-shaped skill set “is em-
blematic of the need for creativity,
problem solving, communications,
customer relations, computing, col-
laboration, and teamwork in the 21st
century workforce.” The vision behind
Compete 2.0 is to help create a work-
force that is able and empowered to
act on insight and experience, and an
9. innovation system that is continually
poised to deploy great ideas.
She says that while every univer-
sity president “gets” this message, “the
world is changing faster than university
curriculum.” Meanwhile, corpora-
tions train workers around the world
in skills that reflect their own needs,
markets, and priorities, yet “no corpo-
ration offers the full toolkit implied by
the T-shaped skills concept,” claims
Van Opstal.
She points to a variety of multi-
disciplinary initiatives underway,
including the Professional Science
Master’s (PSM) degree, jumpstarted
by the Sloan Foundation and now in
use by 71 institutions. It is intended
for math and science graduates pur-
suing careers at the intersection of
science and business management
or the newly emerging specialty that
combines IT with other disciplines
such as bioinformatics.
Examples include the UConn PSM
(genetics, molecular biology, and com-
putational assessment), SUNY Buffalo
PSM (computational chemistry), and
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (quan-
titative finance).
Also, “virtually every major research
university understands that innova-
tion is occurring at the intersection
of disciplines,” Van Opstal says. They
are creating interdisciplinary research
and educational opportunities that cut
10. across traditional stovepipes. Exam-
ples include MIT’s Media Lab, Georgia
Tech’s BEMS complex (Biotechnology-
Environmental Science & Technology-
Molecular & Materials Science), and
Rensselaer’s Center for Biotechnology
and Interdisciplinary Studies (which
combines IT and engineering with the
physical and life sciences).
At North Carolina State University,
programs to promote interdisciplin-
ary education, research, and collabo-
ration create valuable opportunities
for students to be entrepreneurial
and work with practicing profession-
als, according to Chancellor James
Oblinger. At the school’s Centennial
Campus, the corporate and govern-
ment partnership concept is used to
enable students to understand not
just problems and solutions, but also
the process of innovation and prob-
lem solving, reports Oblinger in the
Council on Competitiveness’ 2008
report, “Thrive.”
United Kingdom’s IT skills
The urgent need to place broadly skilled
individuals into the IT workforce is the
incentive behind another broad initia-
tive being launched within the United
Kingdom. Called the IT Professional
Development Program, it was designed
by the organization e-skills UK along
with leading companies, universities,
11. and training providers. e-skills UK is a
not-for-profit, employer-led organiza-
tion licensed by the government as the
Sector Skills Council for Business and
Information Technology.
The program seeks to address a ma-
jor skills challenge within the United
Kingdom—helping aspiring IT profes-
sionals establish careers in the field
when they lack access to traditional
entry-level IT jobs. Increased offshor-
ing of entry-level IT functions by U.K.
companies has eliminated large num-
bers of those positions, even as the
need for broader IT skills increases.
Following a 10-person pilot at Brit-
ish Airways delivered by U.K. distance
learning provider Open University, the
full program will begin in October with
roughly 100 participants, according to
e-skills UK. The University of Lancast-
er is then slated to join in the delivery.
Other employers participating
in the initiative include British
Telecom, IBM, Oracle, and Centrica.

The curriculum is designed to
enable individuals to become
quickly productive in a business
environment, while also achieving
a recognized postgraduate
qualification leading to a master’s
degree. The program’s flexible
and modular structure is aimed
at building a strong foundation of
competence in the early years of a
career, including an understanding
of the business objectives behind
IT. Courses cover a variety of hard
and soft skills such as technical,
business, project management,
leadership and personal skills, and
change management.
e-skills UK assures that the program
will enable all new IT professionals
to benefit from the same top-quality
training regardless of background
or organization. It will be delivered
through a blend of face-to-face learn-
ing and e-resources, assessment, men-
toring, peer-to-peer interaction, and
employer support.
“In today’s highly competitive envi-
ronment, people entering IT profes-
sional careers in the United Kingdom
need to progress to more highly skilled
and demanding roles faster than ever
before,” says Karen Price, CEO of e-
skills UK. British Airways CIO Paul
Coby says the initiative represents “a
13. milestone in the professionalization of
the IT industry.”
After completing the e-skills Profes-
sional Foundation Program (post-
graduate certificate), participants can
progress to the e-skills professional
specialist options and earn the e-skills
professional specialist award (post-
graduate diploma). An additional proj-
ect could lead to a full master’s degree.
The initiative builds on previous
programs to bolster the IT profes-
sion throughout Great Britain. Two
years ago, e-skills UK published the
