Some of the issues covered in the GLobal Skill Department
What are the skills needed in the global economy? What does Tony Wagner of Harvard mean by "Initiative and Entrepreneuring"?
What do you want to learn next?
If you hold a degree from a university, you hold a sheet of paper that declares, "This person has shown the ability to learn new things."
If you are planning to get a degree at a university, you are still charged with this challenge: What do you plan to learn next?
This blog will capture some of the topics that are offered for the Global Skills Certificate through Trinidad University.
The program is entirely online with feedback by telephone, skype, email, and one-on-one evaluation and feedback (face to face or via Skype or via telephone).
Here is one of the videos that will help start the discussion:

Please look at these documents and contact me to learn more about the aims of the Global Skills Department.
