PANEL DISCUSSION: TRANSPORTATION WORKFORCE 2000
The following themes emerged from the panel discussion: Industry change, including technology, downsizing, and process, is having and will continue to have a significant impact on the future workforce, particularly in the mix of skills required to perform jobs; Partnering is critical as we look at training opportunities and new skill sets; In addition to technical skills, it is also imperative that individuals have good communication skills, know how to use technology, and be able to work in a team environment; and Consideration must be given to nontraditional approaches to training aimed at ensuring that after training and educational programs are over, trainees leave with something they can actually use on the job.
