Workforce readiness is an issue that is of great national and societal importance. For the US to thrive in an environment of wide-ranging opportunities and threats, the need to develop and maintain a skilled and adaptable workforce is extremely critical. National investments in job training remain critical, in hopes that doing so will engage businesses and employment agencies, in collaboration with educators who provide both training and vocational guidance.
Workforce Readiness and the Future of Work argues that the large-scale multifaceted efforts required to ensure a reliable and strong supply of talent and skill in the US workforce should be addressed systematically, simultaneously, and systemically across disciplines of thought and levels of analysis. In a four-part framework, the authors cover the major areas of:
education in the K-12, vocational, postsecondary, and STEM arenas;
economic and labor-market considerations;
employment, organizations, and the world of work;
laws, policies, and budgets at the federal, state, local, and military levels.
With contributions from leading scholars, this volume informs high-priority workforce effectiveness issues of current and future concern and concrete research, practice, and policy directions to generate novel insights of a multilevel nature.
