Book Synopsis Shaping Tomorrow's Workforce by : National Alliance of Business
Download or read book Shaping Tomorrow's Workforce written by National Alliance of Business and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased international competition, rapid technological innovation, and profound demographic changes have all created an urgent need for a skilled and capable work force. The work force development system that has been assembled over the years in the United States is extensive; however, the goals and services provided by a wide range of public and private agencies have never been integrated. Efforts to integrate these diverse resources and reform the nation's labor force development policy must include more attention to the following: public-private partnership, coordinated service delivery, program accountability, and decentralized program administration. The implementation of a demand-driven, decentralized, and flexible work force demands a new role for the federal government. The federal government should take the following actions: build a federal partnership, support state reorganization efforts, improve state and local coordination, ensure program accountability, develop flexible targeted programs, and leverage additional resources. Current policies concerning job training for the disadvantaged, vocational education, welfare, worker adjustment, employment service, unemployment insurance, labor market information, and elementary secondary education must all be reassessed and reformed to increase coordination among all levels of government and the private sector.

Book Synopsis Shaping Tomorrow's World by : Elke Seefried
Download or read book Shaping Tomorrow's World written by Elke Seefried and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaping Tomorrow’s World tells the crucial story of how futures studies developed in West Germany, Europe, the US and within global futures networks from the 1940s to the 1980s. It charts the emergence of different approaches and thought styles within the field ranging from Cold War defense intellectuals such as Herman Kahn to critical peace activists like Robert Jungk. Engaging with the challenges of the looming nuclear war, the changing phases of the Cold War, ‘1968’, and the growing importance of both the Global South and environmentalism, this book argues that futures scholars actively contributed to these processes of change. This multiple award-winning study combines national and transnational perspectives to present a unique history of envisioning, forecasting, and shaping the future.

Book Synopsis The Work of the Future by : David H. Autor
Download or read book The Work of the Future written by David H. Autor and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why the United States lags behind other industrialized countries in sharing the benefits of innovation with workers and how we can remedy the problem. The United States has too many low-quality, low-wage jobs. Every country has its share, but those in the United States are especially poorly paid and often without benefits. Meanwhile, overall productivity increases steadily and new technology has transformed large parts of the economy, enhancing the skills and paychecks of higher paid knowledge workers. What’s wrong with this picture? Why have so many workers benefited so little from decades of growth? The Work of the Future shows that technology is neither the problem nor the solution. We can build better jobs if we create institutions that leverage technological innovation and also support workers though long cycles of technological transformation. Building on findings from the multiyear MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future, the book argues that we must foster institutional innovations that complement technological change. Skills programs that emphasize work-based and hybrid learning (in person and online), for example, empower workers to become and remain productive in a continuously evolving workplace. Industries fueled by new technology that augments workers can supply good jobs, and federal investment in R&D can help make these industries worker-friendly. We must act to ensure that the labor market of the future offers benefits, opportunity, and a measure of economic security to all.

Download or read book Innovating From Within written by Alexandrina Pauceanu and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post-pandemic era, innovation from within the organization is essential for business competitiveness and survival. As organizations consider growth and sustainable development, the choice is no longer between entrepreneurship on the one hand and intrapreneurship on the other. The question now is: why not both? As job creators and not job seekers anymore, students and young entrepreneurs need guidance and frameworks to develop their entrepreneurial spirit and skills. Innovating From Within presents the tools, challenges and practices aligned with EU regulations to guide and accommodate students’ entrepreneurial ideas and skills into sustainable businesses for the future. By clarifying concepts like intrapreneurship, corporate entrepreneurship and their contribution to sustainable businesses, the book provides readers with up-to-date knowledge about these concepts and how to implement them in practice. With a range of real-life insights from intrapreneurs, and illustrated with international examples drawn from policy and practice, Innovating From Within is a comprehensive introduction to an increasingly important area of business. Students and lecturers will particularly value its practical approach and readable style.

Download or read book Class Degrees written by Evan Watkins and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A current truism holds that the undergraduate degree today is equivalent to the high-school diploma of yesterday. But undergraduates at a research university would probably not recognize themselves in the historical mirror of high-school vocational education. Students in a vast range of institutions are encouraged to look up the educational social scale, whereas earlier vocational education was designed to “cool out” expectations of social advancement by training a working class prepared for massive industrialization. In Class Degrees, Evan Watkins argues that reforms in vocational education in the 1980s and 1990s can explain a great deal about the changing directions of class formation in the United States, as well as how postsecondary educational institutions are changing. Responding to a demand for flexibility in job skills and reflecting a consequent aspiration to choice and perpetual job mobility, those reforms aimed to eliminate the separate academic status of vocational education. They transformed it from a “cooling out” to a “heating up” of class expectations. The result has been a culture of hyperindividualism. The hyperindividual lives in a world permeated with against-all-odds plots, from “beat the odds” of long supermarket checkout lines by using self-checkout and buying FasTrak transponders to beat the odds of traffic jams, to the endless superheroes on film and TV who daily save various sorts of planets and things against all odds. Of course, a few people can beat the odds only if most other people do not. As choice begins to replace the selling of individual labor at the core of contemporary class formation, the result is a sort of waste labor left behind by the competitive process. Provocatively, Watkins argues that, in the twenty-first century, academic work in the humanities is assuming the management function of reclaiming this waste labor as a motor force for the future.
