The process-driven NCGTS may become even more important as aging faculty leave the profession and turn the reigns over to future generations. See this post on the LERN web site at http://www.lern.org/last-year-for-boomers/. This move also has implications for how and what we teach in our classrooms as we mold and help create those who will lead in the global workforce.
This is the last year in which Baby Boomers will be the largest generation of working age. By 2020 the percentage of people in the workforce who are Boomers will plummet to around 14%.
Next year all three generations – – Gen X, Gen Y and Boomers – – will numerically be about the same in the workforce.
And just 24 months from now, sometime in 2016, Gen Y will be the largest generation of working age in society. By 2020 Gen Y will be about 55% of people in the workforce.
