Building Skills for the Future

I believe my students should have the best information to make choices concerning their career paths. For career builders to understand what skills to develop, they need some insight on what skills will be needed in the future. The problem. Where do you get information on the future careers and the skills needed? The Institute for the Future’s mission is to improve educational outcomes and promote a more prepared workforce. They conduct scholarly research forecasting trends. You can view their website here. http://www.iftf.org/

The report entitled “Future Work Skills 2020” covers the drivers of change in the workforce and skills needed in the future workforce. This report would be a good read for a career builder to review and to see if there is room for improvement in their skills. http://www.iftf.org/futureworkskills/
