Students' exposure to so-called 21st-century skills in school correlates positively with perceived quality of work later in life, according to a new study by Gallup Inc
Deborah Owen's insight:
Really fascinating information about what skills graduates say are important in their new jobs, and which skills they learned (or didn't learn) in school.
Most important skill: real-world problem solving.
"59% said that the skills they use in their current jobs were developed outside of school entirely. That response was particularly prevalent among those with only high school degrees..." and while most respondents reported using technology in school, only 14% "said they did so for purposes of collaboration, which Gallup calls a key aspect of 'today's highly virtualized work environment.'"
