Whether you are a student with minimal work experience or have been working for a number of years and would like to advance your existing career, “Succeeding in today’s job market requires the continual acquisition of new skills in a fast-changing, increasingly high-tech world of work” (Wyman, 2015: 24).
After reading the prescribed article, discuss the key elements given by the author for succeeding in a “fast-changing, increasing high-tech world of work” and state, giving reasons, whether or not you agree with the statement that “Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways provide opportunities for stackable credentials… that build on one another with a corresponding rise in earning potential”.
