Linking Ivory Towers with Fast-Forward Competitive Edge Inc.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bases of Competence: Skills for Lifelong Learning and Employability (Jossey-Bass Higher and Adult Education Series) (Hardcover)
Based on research findings, the authors discuss the movement toward competency-based education. Using case studies and best practices, shows how developing competencies narrows the gap between the classroom and work. The book identifies the four skill combinations most sought after by employers as: managing self, communicating, managing people and task, and mobilizing innovation and change. Includes a "Making the Match Year 3 Questionnaires (skill sections) for Students, Graduates, and Managers. This book is valuable reading; no doubt about it. But while I agree that competencies help narrow the gap between the 'ivory tower' and the fast-forward world of competitive edges, let's not forget the instructor's road warrior experiences, which can make or break the classroom-workplace connection. Let us also keep in mind that there are some very valuable concepts and information that you only will learn about in the classroom. Review by Gerry Stern, author of Stern's SourceFinder: The Master Directory to HR and Business Information and Resources and Stern's CyberSpace SourceFinder. |
