| Future Workforce This video can be found on the Student DVD.Summary: The future workforce is the topic of this BusinessWeek TV segment as shown in the video on your Student DVD. Innovation abounds if you know where to look for it. For example, the Canadian company, Taking It Global, has developed what it calls the "Technology Board of the Future." The organization is designed as a sounding board that provides insight into the views, perspectives, and needs of the future workforce. Fourteen students from around the globe are selected to participate as active members of the Technology Board. These students play a key role in identifying trends that will be invaluable to employers particularly in the area of technology needs of the future workforce. Specifically, the Board members are asked to provide input on how they will use technology in their jobs of the future. The film features short interviews with several of the Board members. Each of these students provides a variation on the same themes--the importance of empowerment, mobile technology, and education. They see these factors as essential for members of their generation and the workforce of the future.Discussion Questions
