Canada/Manitoba. Leveraging Government and Industry Partnerships for Essential Skills Training

From abclifeliteracy.ca - November 28, 2012 10:35 AM

Canada's 21st century workplace needs a workforce that's efficient, effective and adaptable, and Canadians need the skills required to be successful at work. All of which depends on workers having the appropriate combination of the nine essential skills.
But Canadian employers continue to report skilled labour shortages, and workers with essential skills gaps struggle to find and maintain meaningful employment. Meanwhile, advancing workplace technology and changing workplace requirements are raising the bar for essential skills-based knowledge required to support workplace success. Clearly, innovative solutions are needed.

The Effect of Early Entrepreneurship Education: Evidence from a Randomized Field Experiment

From ftp.iza.org - November 28, 2012 10:24 AM

This study analyzes the effectiveness of early entrepreneurship education. To this end, we conduct a randomized field experiment to evaluate a leading entrepreneurship education program that is taught worldwide in the final grade of primary school. We focus on pupils' development of relevant skill sets for entrepreneurial activity, both cognitive and non-cognitive. The results indicate that cognitive entrepreneurial skills are unaffected by the program. However, the program has a robust positive effect on non-cognitive entrepreneurial skills. This is surprising since previous evaluations found zero or negative effects. Because these earlier studies all pertain to education for adolescents, our result tentatively suggests that non-cognitive entrepreneurial skills are best developed at an early age.

Why Traditional Training Solutions don’t work Anymore

Why Traditional Training Solutions don’t work Anymore | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
From blog.commlabindia.com - November 14, 2012 7:57 PM

Companies are spending millions to deploy training solutions. Once that is done, all trainings are migrated to it and new trainings added. One would imagine that having this huge library of trainings is enough to take care of any employee’s training needs in order to improve their performance on the job. But wait. Despite the best of intentions, the results are almost invariably a bit disappointing.

Higher Education Is Overrated; Skills Aren't

There is a mythical belief that higher education invariably leads to higher employment and better jobs. It doesn't. What really matters are skills. The grievously undervalued human capital issue here isn't quality education in school but quality of skills in markets. http://blogs.hbr.org/schrage/2010/07/higher-education-is-highly-ove.html

This module has been designed to model the process of course construction in career studies. It is not intended to be treated prescriptively. The process of curriculum construction is a creative and imaginative activity that involves carefully selecting certain topics and not others. It is this process of creative judgement that the material below is designed to model and support.

UK. Preparing graduates for the world of work

From www.asetonline.org - November 18, 2012 12:22 PM

Employers will train their employees to do their jobs but they expect graduates to have the broad range of abilities to make a smooth transition to the workplace. Graduates should be willing to learn and develop, bring new ideas and contribute to the business’ development and future growth. The majority of businesses say employability skills are an important factor they consider when recruiting graduates and ensuring universities provide their students with the opportunity to develop in this area should be a priority.

Training Ideas to Inculcate Skills for Successful Selling

Training Ideas to Inculcate Skills for Successful Selling | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
From blog.commlabindia.com - November 13, 2012 12:18 PM

Sales training is important for the sales team so that they get to fine tune their skills and techniques. The training program broadly helps sales personnel to understand the selling process, determine the needs of the prospects and speak to them in their language (i.e. from the customer’s point of view). Training also is a useful platform to let the sales team know the common avoidable sales mistakes and maximize meetings with prospects. Over the years, organizations have become more creative in planning the training programs for their sales teams. http://blog.commlabindia.com/elearning/training-for-selling-skills
