6. RATIONALE FOR CSI
Studies show gap in workplace for “21st Century Skills”

7. SKILLS GAP
Today’s fast-changing world requires students … be adept at skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, persistence, collaboration, and curiosity.
Education Technology and the Twenty-First Century
Skills Gap (Bailey, Kaufman & Subotic)

9. SKILLS GAP
Large majorities of employers do not feel that recent college graduates are well prepared. This is particularly the case for applying knowledge and employability skills in real-world settings, critical thinking skills, and written and oral communication skills.
Excerpt from 2015 AACU Study
— areas in which fewer than three in 10 employers think that recent college graduates are well prepared. Yet even in the areas of ethical decision-making and working with others in teams, many employers do not give graduates high marks. (Association of American Colleges & Universities)

10. Employers are more concerned than students or educators about new graduates having a range of skills in “soft skill” areas such as innovation, communication, applying knowledge to real world problems and teamwork. In 2015, the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU) did a companion survey of college students and employers and here are the results:
