Trends in U.S. Bachelors Degrees Awarded


24/26

We need workers who have a minimum of two

years of college. They do not have to have a degree.

Two years of college now is like how we neededworkers to have at least a high school diploma in

the past. Its because computers are involved in

every job today so technical skills and the ability tolearn technical skills is more important. Its simply

because of productivity. To get the productivity a

company needs to make a profit the company

needs workers who can learn those technical skills.

- Red McCombs, San Antonio businessman in 2013

interview for upcoming publication


25/26

Regional employers say they want

1. Good communications skills: Can you..

Explain what youre doing (to co-worker or customer)? Explain what you need (from a co-worker or customer)?

Ability to listen to instructions?

2. Technical knowledge (degrees needed for half of all jobopenings)

4. Can you work with people who are of a different age,

race, gender and education level than you?

5. Critical thinking skills (if given a sequence of events,can you determine what will probably happen next)

6. Can-do attitude / pleasant attitude (workers who are

engaged in their work
