Skills for a Technological Workplace

What skills are needed in today's 21st century workplace? To be college and career ready you need academic knowledge, technical knowledge and a set of general employability skills.

A framework comprised of nine key skills, divided into three areas, was identified by numerous employer groups, educational organizations, professional associations, and federal agencies as part of an initiative of the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education, U.S. Department of Education.

Review the employability skills framework. Refer back to your SWOT analysis assignment in lesson one. How many of the skills in the framework did you list as your strengths? What opportunities did you list that will help you gain these skills?

In the next lesson you will learn of different opportunities to gain and improve your employability skills through Career Organizations integrated with Career and Technical Education courses.
