| Summary |
The face of the workforce is rapidly changing. Technological advances mean that jobs previously serving as major drivers of the world's economy are now fully automated. Furthermore, the automatization of many common work activities means that those currently entering the workforce require a different set of skills than those entering the workforce of the 20th century. This volume brings together some of the world's cutting-edge workforce readiness researchers from the fields of industrial/organizational, educational, and personality psychology to tackle this important topic |
