Skill Gap

Schools were built upon a fundamental premise that

teachers and knowledge and information were scarce. That

is no longer the reality.

We now carry massive storehouses of information and knowledge as well as billions of potential teachers in our pockets and backpacks

The last 10 years have seen an

explosion of devices and connections that

are changing the landscape of

education and learning.

Online course certificates will become a prerequisite on resumes whether or not they are recognized by an official accrediting institution. Job seekers increasingly recognize the value of these certificates as an alternative way to gain marketable skills.
