Expecting More From Higher Education-workforce-ready skills?

Expecting More From Higher Education-workforce-ready skills? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
We have a generation of college graduates at risk and we need solutions now. No other entities or organizations in the country are better suited or better equipped to deal with this insidious problem than our revered institutions of higher education.

 

With the national unemployment rate lingering well above 7 percent for the last four and one-half years, many are wondering if high unemployment is now the "new norm" in the United States. And if this is the case, should we expect more from our institutions of higher education?

This article is talking about that unemployment might be the "new  norm". If that is true are we going to want more from our colleges? Hopefully in years to come the "new norm" will be higher education for the public. This article relates to government and law because this is happening in the United States Right now and we are need of and are searching for solutions to this problem.
