Interpersonal Skills, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Problem-solving Matter!

Fifty-three percent of employers in the United States say their companies face a significant challenge in recruiting non-managerial employees with the skills, training, and education their company needs. The results summarized in Life in the 21st Century Workforce: A National Perspective indicate agreement across both employers and employees that education – including continuing education and advanced degrees – is critical to ensuring workers have the skills necessary to advance in their professions. They also agree that interpersonal skills, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving are important to providing the most benefit to employers and the workforce alike.
