Management now recognizes a need to have workers take on more responsibility at the points of production, of sale, and of service rendered if the United States is to compete in rapidly changing world markets. This development means that much more is expected of even entry-level members of the American workforce. Thus, even more is expected of our high schools and colleges to provide this type of workforce. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The need of American management for workers with greater skills and who can take on greater responsibility has spawned many commissions, task forces, and studies. All of them have contributed to the vast evidence documenting the need for a more highly skilled workforce. These studies are summarized and synthesized in this book. However, what remains largely undone is the development of methods to assess the necessary skills that have been identified. A major portion of this book deals with assessment issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorkforce Readiness: Competencies and Assessment\u003c\/i\u003e explores the state-of-the-art in the specification of competencies (skills) and their assessment for students entering the world of work from both high school and college.
