Did you know…
“According to former Secretary of Education Richard
Riley… the top 10 jobs that will be in demand in 2010
didn’t exist in 2004. We are currently preparing students
for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that
haven’t yet been invented, in order to solve problems we
don’t even know are problems yet.”
