Forty Million Jobs Needed
More than 40 million people are unemployed in developed economies alone. Here we explore the underlying causes of the jobs crisis and some of the ways business, government, and Higher Education can cooperate to create the millions of jobs that are needed.
An excellent point was made regarding busineses/industries initiating 2-3 year "apprenticeships" for those graduating from college.
Apprenticeships in the industrial complexes of our country have disappeared, especially over the last 20 years. Young men and women need not only higher learning through degrees but still need the "hands-on" experience which is so very important. roviding apprenticeship programs where companies hire and have new employees work with eperienced employees that can provide the hands-on training is one way to tackle the unemployment situation and, I believe, would provide a positve impact in helping the economy and college graduates.
I worked in the public school system as a teacher for 18 years. I do believe our high school students in the USA do need more vocational training similar to the European model. Having skills and knowledge will can keep a person employed even in the toughest economy
