Skill Gap 2

Thanks Leslie for the article  and some insight. First thing first, I need to sink in my mind 3.2 years as the average employment of new employees. This is an important fact and reminder to me as a trainer.

As i was reading, I was looking for more...that was how interesting and relevant the subject is.

I hope there will be part 3, with some idaes and recommendations on how training can be redesigned for new type of workers.
