EMPLOYABILITY MAPPING

New college students often ask why the study and personal development of Academic Competencies are so important for success in college, in the workplace and in adult life?  My response is always as follows.  In a continually expanding information-based future, tomorrow's working professionals are going to have to use knowledge that hasn't been discovered yet - be competent with technologies that haven't been invented yet - successfully interact with diverse cultures of people they haven't met yet, to solve a myriad of problems that haven't been anticipated yet. 

The shelf-life for many skill sets in the current century's  international economy is extremely short. If academic institutions don't prepare students with sufficient learning strategies and functional social competencies now, working professionals will not be able to meet the needs of  dynamic future societies and are apt to falter or fail as thoughtful, competent, and productive global citizens.
