Document Summary
Technology changes rapidly and workers must adapt just as quickly, enhancing their job skills if they wish to remain employable. This means that workers must embrace change and adapt their skills, not only to keep up with technology"s evolution, but also to integrate the new technology into a more complex, many-sided approach to work. It is critical that productivity increase in order to regain a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. The problem of increasing productivity is compounded by the ever changing workplace in which an educated and skilled workforce is needed to adapt to new technological processes. The recent trends in technology and the workplace suggest that the programs curriculum needs modification in order to equip learners with the knowledge and skills needed to be successful. For example, the most effective and efficient method of preparing the future workforce may no longer include vocational education"s traditional emphasis on specific technical job skills.
