Workforce Skill-Sets
* America’s most important resource is its children; the future Workforce.
* America’s Workforce Skill-Sets range from manual labor to educated professionals.
How are Workforce Skill-Sets created?
1. Researchers/Scientists use Mental Skill-Sets** to convert data into knowledge.
2. Teachers create Knowledge Skill-Sets (i.e., STEM, Vocational, Arts, Political Science, Business, Social Science, etc.).
3. Project Planners select the appropriate Knowledge Skill-Sets to be the Workforce Skill-Sets for specific projects.
** Mental Skill-Sets are:
Judgment…Reason…Foresight…Thought…Self-Control…Deduction…Alertness…
Perception…and Memory.
* A rigorous, comprehensive, curriculum for Mental Skill-Sets must become an essential component of the K-12 segment of the Formal Education Process!
* Barriers to the development of Mental Skill-Sets are:
Moral Inertia…Sentimentality…Egotism…Indifference…IIlusion…and Impulse.
* To compete in a global economy, fueled by super technology, America must have a superbly educated and healthy Workforce; we don’t!
* Rigorous and comprehensive curricula are prerequisites for a superb education!
