Is an organization responsible for educating its workforce? CHCI recently conducted a roundtable conversation to answer this question, discussing the five-stage model of life model and current job requirements. It includes education, work, education, work, and retirement. To support this five-stage model of life, federal and state governments are incentivizing education for seniors. Many technical roles required by organizations demand specialized technical and soft skills, not four-year degrees. They fall into the category of “new collar” jobs. To keep up with these changes, organizations are looking at new ways to attract top talent by offering technology apprenticeships as a way for entry-level talent to jumpstart their careers post-high school.
