Developing Students for a Competitive Workplace, Request for Comment!

January 18th, 2008

Tomorrow, I am speaking to a group of thirty high school marketing teachers as part of the Utah Association for Career and Technical Education‘s mid-winter conference. (This invitation to present is thanks to a referral from Jason Alba who said I am “one of his favorite recruiters” which, for most people, is a very, very short list.  Thanks!)
I am fascinated by what these teachers are sharing with high school kids–stuff I only learned about in college:

  • The Four P’s of Marketing: Product, Pricing, Promotion and Placement
  • Entrepreneurship & Business
  • Business Law
  • Fashion
  • Computers, Web Marketing
  • Etc.

But, please help me answer this question: What do you WISH YOU LEARNED back then to prepare YOU for the workforce– or, what do you feel those entering the workforce in the next 10 years need to know?

Comments, Please
