Talent Shortage Survey Findings • "The underlying reasons for talent shortages are here to stay." This global talent mismatch will continue to grow until labor markets catch up to the job realities of the new world of technology. The educational preparation and skill set updates that employers are requiring are becoming ever more specific and refined. This is making it even more difficult for organizations to find the perfect candidate and for individuals to find a "good job." (2010)

Instructional Principles--To help students become self‐directed, lifelong learners Instructors should help students learn to: 1. Assess the demands of the task, 2. Evaluate their own knowledge and skills, 3. Plan their approach, 4. Monitor their progress, and 5. Adjust their strategies as needed. These key meta‐cognitive skills are critical to being an effective lifelong learner(Ambrose et al, 2010). Research shows that students tend not to apply meta‐cognitive skills as well or as often as they should. They need your support and significant practice.
