The Foundation Skills, Job Skills All Workers
Need
The 17 Foundation Skills
are those required of all workers in the high-performance
workplace of the 21st century. They were developed
from several high-level government commission reports. A
corporate vice president and director at Motorola,
Jim Burge, wrote this,
"At my company, Motorola,
the only constant is change. Jobs that were once relatively
simple now require high-performance work processes
and enhanced skills. Today's job skills, identified
by Professor Lawrence Jones in Job
Skills for the 21st Century, reflect these changing
workplace realities and help students, job applicants,
and employees anticipate change."
There are four groups of Foundation Skills:
Basic
Skills
Thinking Skills
People Skills
Personal Qualities
