#8654 Career Exploration - High-Tech Jobs: The School-to-Work Connection (Run time 27 min.) DVD $129.95
This program, produced and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent Hedrick Smith, examines America's need for a renewable techno-savvy workforce and the measures that schools and businesses can take to develop it. The focus is on the city of Austin, home of the University of Texas. Although Austin has succeeded in attracting hundreds of high-tech companies such as IBM, Dell, and Samsung, its burgeoning industry has depleted the skilled workforce to the point where companies are looking elsewhere to expand. Local high schools, community colleges, and leading-edge companies have teamed up to institute workforce development programs, which promote careers in science to students still in school, and worker training programs, which groom employees in other occupations for positions requiring technical skills. Although the price is steep, it is one that Austin's industries will gladly pay to remain competitive in the world technology market. (27 minutes)
