Solving the Skills Gap Digitally is for students, educators, trainers and management of public and private organizations. Technology has changed the accessibility, delivery and portability of information. In Solving the Skills Gap Digitally, the issues are examined, the process of developing skill sets addressed, and the data behind contributing factors to the talent shortages are presented. Stephen includes how adults learn and retain information, what makes training content relevant, and the advantages of digital application based content. He makes a powerful case for rethinking our approach to education and training in light of the disconnect so aptly described between the preparation students get and the actual skills needed in the modern workplace. Educators owe it to our nation's graduates to prepare them for today's careers - and U.S. industry's ultimate competitiveness depends on embracing a culture of learning. The most effective answer is digital delivery. Indeed, the students and workers are already using the tools. They just need the content.
