SCHOOLS vs SKILLS

To quote Peter Drucker (Post-Capitalist Society, p. 24), saying: a skill "could not be explained in words, whether spoken or written. It could only be demonstrated." And, "the only way to learn a techne [skill, in Greek] was through apprenticeship and experience."

Would you want a fresh graduate from med school to operate on you, or would you prefer for him to have at least successfully finished an internship ( a form of apprenticeship ) at a hospital first?

What we need is a Technical Center, ( ie:a teaching college/factory ) where we may obtain the experience needed.

What should this "Tech Center" look like ? Please share your vision of what this Center could be.

ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER !!!

Well folks, there has been almost no change as to the peril of our manufacturing companies in need of skilled workers here in NEO.
Yes, we have had a few name changes, a few more promises, a few more people saying, "We are doing that already", and still the want ads and all the head hunters are frantically trying to poach skilled labor from the guy next door!
Guess what? The guy next door does not have them either!

More to come at regular intervals.
