What Industry Says… Technical skill ALONE does not make
someone competitive in the job market
– In fact, computer literacy skills are assumed!
Today’s workers demonstrate GAPS in:
– Communication skills
– Team/interpersonal skills
– Problem solving
– Quantitative reasoning
– Business process knowledge
