Bibliography 3 After I cooled down a bit.

The National Center On Education And The Economy. Touch Choices OR Touch TimesThe Report Oh The New Commission On The Skills Of The American Workforce. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass, 2008. Print.

The new report compiled by The National Center on Education and the Economy focuses mainly on proposing an in depth plan to radically change the education system. The Emphasis of this report shows that our eligible work force starts in education. In the new world wide market we have and are continuing to grow, only individuals with a strong education and creative ability will be desirable at top dollar. Currently many other countries offer not only lower wage workers but better educated ones. The plan also has a section dedicated to the alleviation of the problems in education our poor endure.

This source uses much simpler language throughout the format. The format and visual lay out of the text itself somehow adds to its credibility. Its designed rather than simply typed. The extra care shows and ads to its quality. The text, charts, graphs and components are larger for increased readability. The information provided still uses a lot of data, but since the language is simpler its incorporated better and is more powerful. The larger print also makes it an easier read. Going through several pages is much easier to endure when the print is larger. 10 pages in 10 minutes rather than 6 hours, and the information is still comparable really makes a difference.

One of my earlier questions from the last source was one of innovation. That question is addressed in the abstract and creativity need for future employees. Most of our society in America puts a much stronger emphasis on analytical thought. Right brain Vs Left brain, the evidence of this can be seen when schools have budget constraints and they choose to cut the arts first. These classes are the classes that nurture and grow creativity; which according to this source is going to be sorely needed.

The make a great point that says the workers that are in the job force right now will also be our workforce in 20 years from now. Will they be able to compete? Our Education system still is lacking and even if we reform today expecting to reach those older workers is a little far fetched. How about Job Corps? Do they try to train the creativity aspect in their students? Job corps to me at times feels like more of an apprenticed stepping stone from school into work. But are they training these students for high paying positions, or merely low level labor? Which will continue to keep the lower class in the lowerclass? Though I suppose it should also be mentioned it’s a better out let than prison.
