Michael Horn points out a paradox: two million job openings sit unfilled while unemployment stays high, a sign the education system isn't training people for the jobs that exist. He argues the pipeline from school to work is broken and needs rebuilding.
We've been living through this strange time with record high unemployment, and yet at the same time, employers say that they have over 2 million job openings for which they cannot find qualified people. So just think about that for a second. Millions of people looking for work and millions of job openings for which there are not qualified people to work. We have an education problem in this country and a mismatch that we've got to solve. We need a new system.
