Workforce Development-2015

    (male narrator)
    The world is changing.
  • 0:04 - 0:07
    In some areas, exponentially.
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    If you run a business,
    nowhere is this more obvious than
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    when you look at your work force:
  • 0:12 - 0:16
    the people you now employ, and the
    new people you will be searching for.
  • 0:16 - 0:19
    Technology now requires almost all
    businesses to have an educated
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    and highly trained workforce.
  • 0:21 - 0:26
    Check this out: by the year 2020,
    65% of all jobs in the U.S. economy
  • 0:26 - 0:30
    will require some kind of
    post-high school training.
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    65%: that is almost
    two-thirds of all jobs.
  • 0:33 - 0:37
    This new training has
    nothing to do with physical skills.
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    The most sought after training
    for new and current employees
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    falls into two camps:
    technology, and soft skills.
  • 0:43 - 0:47
    You know about soft skills:
    things like critical thinking,
  • 0:47 - 0:51
    time management, and leadership.
  • 0:51 - 0:54
    In the next five years, judgement,
    decision making, communication,
  • 0:54 - 0:59
    and analysis will be the four most
    in demand competencies in the labor market.
  • 0:59 - 1:01
    Finding a resource to
    keep your employees trained
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    on the most up-to-date skills
    and competencies can be challenging.
  • 1:05 - 1:08
    Fortunately, Kishwaukee College
    is a center for business development,
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    and continuing education is that resource.
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    We are responsive to the needs
    of our local business community.
  • 1:14 - 1:15
    It's our job.
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    Our favorite word is 'customized',
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    because it tells you everything
    you need to know about us.
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    'Customized' means we
    talk to you, listen to you,
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    and provide a comprehensive assessment
    of your businesses training needs.
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    Nothing about our process
    is canned or mass produced.
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    We have the industry knowledge
    to provide training that is relevant
  • 1:34 - 1:39
    to your unique business needs:
    soft skills, technology related, or otherwise.
  • 1:39 - 1:43
    The only thing that matters to us
    is your business and your employees.
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    It sounds simple,
    and we make it feel simple too.
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    Making local business
    work is what we're here for.
  • 1:49 - 1:53
