THE GREAT SKILLS GAP: OPTIMIZING TALENT FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK
Book ID/图书代码： 12347021C00019
English Summary/英文概要： An extraordinary confluence of forces stemming from automation and digital technologies is transforming both the world of work and the ways we educate current and future employees to contribute productively to the workplace.
The Great Skills Gap opens with the premise that the exploding scope and pace of technological innovation in the digital age is fast transforming the fundamental nature of work. Due to these developments, the skills and preparation that employers need from their talent pool are shifting. The accelerated pace of evolution and disruption in the competitive business landscape demands that workers be not only technically proficient, but also exceptionally agile in their capacity to think and act creatively and quickly learn new skills.
This book explores how these transformative forces are―or should be―driving innovations in how colleges and universities prepare students for their careers. Focused on the impact of this confluence of forces at the nexus of work and higher education, the book’s contributors―an illustrious group of leading educators, prominent employers, and other thought leaders―answer profound questions about how business and higher education can best collaborate in support of the twenty-first century workforce.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 自动化和数字技术所产生的各种力量的汇合正在改变我们的工作世界，改变着我们教育当前和未来员工的方式，让员工在职场中做出更大的贡献。
《巨大的技能差距》是在这样一个前提下产生的，即数字时代技术创新的爆炸性范围和速度正在迅速改变工作的基本性质。由于这些发展，雇主需要从人才库中获得的技能和准备工作正在发生变化。竞争性商业环境中的加速发展和破坏要求工人不仅在技术上熟练，而且在创造性思维和行动能力方面异常敏捷，并能快速学习新技能。
这本书探讨了这些变革力量是如何、应该如何推动学院和大学为学生的职业生涯做好创新准备。书的作者——杰出的教育工作者、杰出的雇主、和其他思想领袖——回答了关于商业和高等教育如何才能最好地合作支持二十一世纪劳动力的深刻问题。（WYL）
