The evolving landscape of career readiness How postsecondary education can help students succeed in a changing workforce

Abstract
The nature and importance of career readiness has changed dramatically over the past several decades and is currently undergoing an even more rapid evolution. Those embarking on a career or changing careers will need to be ready to manage a series of forces — some long term, some shorter term — that are reshaping the economy and the career landscape. This white paper provides an overview of these forces and suggests the key skills and capabilities those preparing for a career will benefit by mastering. More than anything else, tomorrow’s workplace will be one that values highly adaptable workers who can manage change, pivot to new opportunities, learn new skills, and cope with uncertainty and ambiguity while contributing high value through initiative, problem solving, and self-management.
