[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thinking about the post earlier re: struggling freshmen. It doesn't get better once they enter the workforce either - They apparently have no initiative or communications skills. This really needs to be a wake up call for how we're raising and educating our kids.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanrobinson/2024/09/27/6-tips-for-gen-z-to-succeed-in-their-first-job-in-2024/ [/quote]

The best part of the entire article is a not so subtle blast of the TO era and the lower-the-bar-for pell grant and other hooks era (that started pre-covid yet took off with TO due to covid): 
The article references employers who want to: 
" Analyze cognitive abilities. “Aptitude tests identify key cognitive strengths, such as creative thinking and problem-solving skills, which allow managers to understand and leverage a younger candidate's natural talents.Identifying these strengths during the hiring process helps managers gain a deeper understanding of a candidate's potential and enables them to assign relevant tasks that align with their creative and problem-solving abilities further down the line.”
Wow, cognitive aptitude is important to employers! Ya don't say. no extended time/ extensive test prep/years of tutors to fake this!
Granted, aptitude testing is not new, but this seems a tip toward becoming more widely used. The true top smart kids will shine from many universities, not just the elites.[/quote]
