In class a few weeks ago we watched a Clip of a speech by Tony Wagner. He went through a part of his book The Global Achievement Gap. There are several skills that Tony came up with that current employers are looking for when they hire an employee. The seven are as follows:
1. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
2. Collaboration Across Networks
3. Adaptability and Initiative
4. Accessing and Analyzing Information
5.Effective Oral and Written Communication
6. Curiosity and Imagination
Watching this video and reading this book by Tony Wagner was inspiring and will be very helpful. I think the first step of Critical thinking and problem solving may be the most important. Students these days do not do this as much as they should, and like Tony said when you are thinking and problem solving you will ask questions. Asking good questions shows that you are dedicated to learning new things, and are able to figure it out.
