Responding to today’s skills shortages with short-term fixes is not enough to drive growth and innovation. The more critical challenge is to address skills gaps in ways that improve organizational effectiveness and contribute to long-term success. |
Ensuring a highly skilled workforce takes a commitment from many players—leaders in the public and private sectors, the education community, the workforce development system, as well as workplace learning professionals. Each of these communities contributes to the development of the workforce. Together they help ensure an adequate level of key workplace skills. According to the 2009 Skills Gap poll from ASTD, organizations are experiencing gaps in these skills:
- leadership and executive skills
- basic workplace competencies that are the building blocks of successful performance in any job such as literacy and numeracy
- professional or industry-specific skills
- managerial and supervisory skills
- communication and interpersonal skills
- technical, IT, and systems skills
- sales skills
- process and project management skills.
