Graduating students aren’t well prepared for the workforce, but tech companies like Slack and Discord are helping resolve this issue. The future of the workforce will revolve around technology like AI and is projected to take hold of every industry within the next decade, but curriculum needs to catch up if schools and universities want to prepare students for post-grad life. In a survey conducted by Dell and the Institute of the Future, 81% of students reported they wish they were taught more soft skills, like interpersonal collaboration rather than specific academic subject matter. Building digital literacy in the classroom through social tools will help students prepare for common communication practices that companies use. Tech like Slack and Microsoft Teams are popular, and some teachers are already using similar communicative techniques through Discord (a platform Gen Z knows and loves). Teachers report that their classrooms feel more connected socially when using these types of tools. (FastCompany)
