مستخلص: Today's dynamic and rapidly changing economy is marked by ongoing labor shortages and by continuous advancements in technology and industry. An organization's growth and success hinges on a skilled workforce that is capable of navigating these advancements. Skills-based practices (also referred to as skills-first practices) to select and develop talent have emerged as a way to support the needs and goals of the workforce (Curnow et al., 2021). Although employers continue to adopt and implement skills-based practices, education providers can also play a role by providing learners and jobseekers with opportunities to develop valuable skills and competencies to be competitive and effective in the workforce. This brief draws connections between the progress of and conversations among employers and education providers and the ways that foster further advancement of skills-based practices. The brief also explores (a) perspectives from employers on the challenges they face and on the benefits of skills-based practices; (b) perspectives from postsecondary education institutions on the challenges they face and on their motivations for adopting CBE models; and (c) early adoption trends and their impact on the broader education-workforce landscape.
