Future Work Skills 2020 is a report released by the Institute For The Future (IFTF) in 2011 that analyzes some of the key drivers reshaping the future work, coming up not with specific, recommended professional paths but instead with broad skills that will help workers adapt to the changing career landscape.

IFTF, based in Palo Alto, California, is a nonprofit research center focuses on long-term forecasting.

The Re-working of "Work"

Global connectivity, smart machines, and new media are just some of the drivers reshaping how we think about work, what constitutes work, and the skills we will need to be productive contributors in the future. This report analyzes key drivers that will reshape the landscape of work and identifies key work skills needed in the next 10 years. It does not consider what will be the jobs of the future. Many studies have tried to predict specific job categories and labor requirements. Consistently over the years, however, it has been shown that such predictions are difficult and many of the past predictions have been proven wrong. Rather than focusing on future jobs, this report looks at future work skills—proficiencies and abilities required across different jobs and work settings.

Education Overload

By Rodney Johnson  |  December 9, 2014  |  Economy & Markets

When students don’t organize their college years very well, who ends up footing the bill?

My son, a college junior, recently registered for the spring semester. As he described his upcoming classes to me, I had one question. When will you graduate? His answer of, “In 2016, I think,” was uninspiring.

He arrived at college with 26 credits earned through Advanced Placement classes in high school. The idea that he might not get the other 94 credits of required courses to graduate in four years, even though he has been taking 12 to 15 hours per semester, put me on edge. But it’s not entirely his fault.

The university has no vested interest in him graduating on time since it earns hefty fees and tuition as long as he is on campus. Besides, he’s an out-of-state student, so he pays more than locals.

If he’s paying more and staying longer, what’s not to love?

According to a study released by the non-profit Complete College America (CCA), 19% of students at non-flagship public universities complete a bachelor’s degree in four years, whereas at flagship public universities the percentage is still an appalling 36%. CCA sites a number of reasons why this might be so, including too many choices presented to students and the lack of transferability of credits when students switch universities.

These sound like valid points, but from personal experience, I know of another reason — the schools don’t set out programs and paths that ensure students are tracking for a four-year stay.
