We keep seeing that the unemployment rates continue to rise, there are still over 2.5 million jobs unfilled in the US and well over 4 million in Europe because of a shortage of skilled workers.
These problems cannot be resolved without improving the mobility of skilled workers through international standardization of education and training is crucial to addressing this shortage. In the absence of international standards, companies are in a position to create programmes to qualify employees and their counterparts around the world, but fail to do so at it hits the lower strata of priorities while money is short.
Raising high school standards and graduation rates is equally important to addressing the skills gap at all levels in the organization, but we need to tighten the way schools are run and ocational training is provided to ensure that school leavers have jobs to go into.It is essential to clarify the lines between technical training and education.
This needs redressal at a political level by making sure that Immigration policies in the affected countries are transparent and takes into consideration the protection of the local working population while meeting the infrastructure and social necessities. Otherwise, progress will not happen.
