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.

Career and Technical Education
Career and technical education (CTE) programs prepare students for middle-income jobs that require education beyond high school but less than a bachelor's degree. There are five CTE pathways: degrees, postsecondary certificates, industry-based certifications, apprenticeships, and employer-based training. These pathways can lead to the over 11 million middle-income jobs that pay $50,000 or more per year and help address the disappearance of jobs that only require a high school education or less.

The platform offers workshops, coaching, and connects students with other entrepreneurs, investors, and partners. Elephant Water has received recognition and partnerships with universities. It is seeking funding for marketing, product development, and hiring personnel to further develop the mobile platform.
What the Research Says
This document discusses the growing focus on and importance of career and technical education (CTE) from a variety of sources. It notes that while about one-third of Americans graduate from college, better preparation is needed for the other two-thirds for middle-skill jobs. It also highlights that CTE programs have been shown to improve student outcomes like graduation rates and skills in STEM and AP classes compared to students not in such programs. The document advocates for high-quality CTE programs that integrate academics with technical and employability skills through project-based and work-based learning.

It notes that careers are now less exclusive and more globalized due to changing social and economic conditions. It also states that careers are increasingly unpredictable due to rapid technological changes.
The document recommends that career counselors help students build life skills like flexibility, emotional intelligence, and adaptability. It also suggests counselors provide students with self-assessment tools and information on higher education and employment opportunities to prepare them for unpredictable career paths. Counselors should teach students to continually plan and adjust career plans based on anticipated future changes.

Tycoons
This document summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of coaching institutes in India. It notes that while coaching institutes provide guidance and help students prepare for exams, they have also proliferated and turned many students into "mugging machines" who lose their creativity and individuality. Some key disadvantages mentioned are that institutes exploit students financially, create robots instead of independent thinkers, and diminish self-learning. The document suggests that the government and parents should encourage a more well-rounded education system focused on each student's interests and abilities rather than only admissions to select colleges.

There is a large gap between the skills possessed by India's workforce and the needs of the job market. 80% of the workforce lacks marketable skills, and 85% of graduates are unemployable in high-growth industries. Vocational training capacity meets the needs of only 2.3 million people, while the gap is over 18 million. Solutions proposed include introducing vocational education streams aligned with industry needs, improving industry connections through internships and partnerships, and encouraging entrepreneurship through funding and recognition of startups.

Time for a Paradigm Shift?
It seems that in just the last few years, the rapid explosion and proliferation of new computer and communications technologies have the potential to alter the learning and teaching experience forever.
We as educators are painfully aware of how “career” or “foundational” skills are essential in today’s ever changing global environment, and that knowledge of and experience in problem solving, critical thinking and information competencies can assure increased graduate success-- or, as one university put it, “keys to reaching your full potential”.
While most higher education institutions are today including career competencies in their FYE curriculum or core general curriculum, this webinar will discuss whether that is enough for today’s learning environment.
Are we still teaching students the same old way we were taught and expecting them to learn the same way we learned?
Maybe it’s time to rethink where and how often we teach critical thinking, problem solving and information skill sets, as well as how and when we teach them.
What would be the advantage to faculty and administration if we did this?
What would be the advantage to students and graduates?
How would it look?
What are the challenges to this approach?
