Preparing Teens for the 21st Century Work Place

While the knowledge and skills kids acquire through informal education are important for being a successful and productive adult, there are a number of non-academic based skills and abilities that are required to meet the demands of our rapidly changing, highly technological, global work force. Dr. Wellborn will be talking about 15 specific skills that experts have increasingly identified as critical for successfully negotiating the 21^st century work place. These skills are relevant not only in corporate and professional careers but also in the skilled trades and service sector jobs. And, they are skills parents can help foster and develop in their kids within family interactions and in the home.
