The workforce of tomorrow is growing up today. Unfortunately, many youth are not getting the education or experience they need to succeed as they enter the work world. The futurists say employers are practically begging for young workers who can think, collaborate, communicate, coordinate, and create. To address that need, schools will shift from teaching facts to teaching critical thinking, problem solving, and other applied knowledge and process skills. In 2003, only 35 percent of U.S. high school dropouts and 55 percent of high school graduates were employed full-time, versus 77 percent of four-year college graduates.
