What skills students need is a burning question being debated in board rooms, classrooms, and think tanks. But what skills are needed is only part of the story and part of the solution.

Hi,
Thank you for having this blog. It is very well-written and informative.
I have been working in Human Resources for 18 years now and the current economic conditions are the worst I have ever seen. It is so frustrating for our workers and for our job candidates. I hope things improve soon!
I have started a little blog about HR issues myself and I would appreciate you taking a look at it when you have time and giving me your feedback. My blog is at www.DialHR.com. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Becky
