Webinar- Skills In Demand; Uncovering The Common Skills For High Paying, High Growth Jobs Of The Near Future, 7/17

School district and state level education leaders are charged with developing and administering educational curricula to best prepare our children and students for their future. Yet there can be tension between a curriculum that develops a "well-rounded" student and a curriculum that helps create a student who is "job or career ready."

By analyzing millions of actual job postings and hiring requisitions, research by IDC found that skills and competencies that support a well-developed, civically competent student are the same skills that will be widely in demand by employers in 2020 and beyond. And those same skills will be essential for positions expected to have the most rapid growth and highest wages between now and 2020.

This webinar will:

Identify the 20 most common skills required across nearly 15 million job postings

Illustrate the importance of those skills to high growth, high paying positions that represent nearly 30% of the job growth between 2010 and 2020

Describe those essential skills in the context of curriculum reform and show how they are consistent with most common educational improvement initiatives today

Provide examples of how those essential skills can be taught and reinforced in most classroom environments using readily available technology tools.
