I am on several business and educational advisory committees that are
discussing similar themes and we need some help. Vendor replies will not
be considered. We need real-life, practical information.

What are the best assessment tools to determine what skills, attitudes and
abilities applicants need to succeed in the business environment?

Free information (studies, benchmarks,etc) defining the largest/most
common gaps between skills, abilities and attitudes of high school/college
students, and the needs of employers?

School - work programs. What has/has not worked and why?

Please, pardon the cross posting, I would like to receive a wide range of
replies so I'm posting to a wide variety of lists.

Thank you in advance

[Host's Note: Christie may have very valid reasons for exluding vendor
replies, but others I know are interested in these same questions. Vendor
replies are always OK here on learning-org. Please, no sales pitches, keep
them short, and do provide a pointer to further info. ...Rick]
