Current economic difficulties and the challenge of competing in the
world market have necessitated a rethinking of American approaches
to the utilization of people in organizations. Management now
recognizes a need to have workers take on more responsibility at
the points of production, of sale, and of service rendered if the
United States is to compete in rapidly changing world markets. This
development means that much more is expected of even entry-level
members of the American workforce. Thus, even more is expected of
our high schools and colleges to provide this type of workforce.
The need of American management for workers with greater skills
and who can take on greater responsibility has spawned many
commissions, task forces, and studies. All of them have contributed
to the vast evidence documenting the need for a more highly skilled
workforce. These studies are summarized and synthesized in this
book. However, what remains largely undone is the development of
methods to assess the necessary skills that have been identified. A
major portion of this book deals with assessment issues.
"Workforce Readiness: Competencies and Assessment" explores the
state-of-the-art in the specification of competencies (skills) and
their assessment for students entering the world of work from both
high school and college. Both individual and team competencies are
examined via data that has been reported and collected in various
settings--schools, laboratories, and industrial facilities.
