Why We Need to Train America's Workers…
The U.S. is falling behind other countries in the race for the world's best jobs. While other nations are spending more to educate their workers, we are spending less. America's comparative advantage in the global marketplace has always been connected to the relative skills and education of its workforce. But will we continue to have that edge in the global economy of the 21st century? As we alreadyt know that U.S. is already lagging behind from lot of other country and we still havent found ways to improve training America's Workers.
And as for workplace learning, U.S. is currently among the bottom. The ways we can change this is to improve our teaching methods by using new technology to help wokers gain more training and experiance so they would have skills and knowledge to lead them in future with out relying on others.

I am in complete agreement with you in regards to the US is still searching for ways to improve the training for American workers. I think as economies such as China and India continue to grow and prosper, the US is slowly going to fall behind even more in workplace training. How can a corporation change that though? Especially if upper management have cut spending to those programs.
ReplyDeleteWhile some people do well at their job, they may be against corporate training and find it to be a waste of their time. Creating an ideal atmosphere for a workplace learner is a challenge. Do you think with the combination of the internet, computers and technology in general can help change that mindset?
