It has long been a concern that students coming out of universities do not possess the necessary skills to flourish in the corporate environment. Now with the increasing demand for professionals proficient in various technology programs, it is even more difficult to meet those requirements. With international schools ramping up programs to meet these demands, U.S. schools are having a hard time keeping up. 

"The competition for talent is everywhere more intense, even as the future of work is more uncertain. A student in Brazil is competing with students in Singapore or Morocco. At the same time, companies are finding it harder to find the kind of advanced talent they need for their high-tech, globally oriented businesses."

Trends we're seeing right now:
  1. Nearly a third of U.S. workers are already mobile, and the consulting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) estimates that by 2020 global worker mobility will increase by 50 percent.
  2. Nearly two-thirds of global CEOs worry about not being able to find employees with the necessary skills and innovative mindset to fill their open positions
  3. We are now "ruthlessly optimizing everything around us and delivering it at the touch of a button," says TIME's writer Joel Klein
