Scenario: Blue Ribbon Task Force
Key Presenting Issues• Employers are dismayed that most postsecondary students currently
are not getting the foundational, technical, and 21st century skills needed for the workplace.
• Technical educational programs and the U.S. technical workforce do not reflect the overall demographics of the U.S. population.
The Blue Ribbon Task Force must:• Design pedagogical systems to provide relevant knowledge, skills, and
experiences to enable graduates to hit the ground running and be successful quickly as members of the technical workforce in real-world, global organizations.
• Design solutions to successfully attract, serve, and develop people for the technical workforce from traditionally underrepresented and underserved populations.
