Different type of education

Different Education

I read an articles that having a degree/diploma/certificate will not guarantee a job because the skills that will be needed in the next 5 years require a different education. But what education is that and how can one acquire it since the governmental system certainly does not teach that?

I believe that we may not change the system but we can surely change ourselves. This affects businesses because they will be serving a different market. What will it require? Because really most of the people in the rural areas do not have systems that runs their businesses. How will they survive then if currently they are seeing fires?

What needs to change? How will it? Who will?

This requires a change of the mind. But how can one change people's mind because they do not want education, they see it as a waste of time (of which in some sense it is)?We need leaders not the ones who are in it for the tenders and connections but one who is in for the betterment of people and their well being.

We have to learn to think for ourselves. Think of the future, think of change, think of how are our businesses will be affected. Companies are now looking for soft skills: Analytical thinking and innovation, active learning and learning strategies, critical problem solving, creativity, technology use and programming. These are amongst the skills that will be crucial for doing business, no more ''I am a hard worker''. The market is not looking for hard workers we have machines to do that. We need to adapt fast. We need to start thinking.

Supply

Supply- supply is the amount of a resource that firms, producers, labourers, providers of financial assets, or other economic agents are willing and able to provide to the marketplace or to an individual. Supply can be in produced goods, labour time, raw materials, or any other scarce or valuable object ( WikiPedia) I found this topic to be of great interest in a sense that one can be in and out of business because of a supplier. Demand and supply makes up the foundation of an economy. In business we can have an obstacle of a supplier. Recently I have halted selling a product due to a problem I had with a supplier. The supplier ran out of business and it was difficult to even find another supplier nearby. A supplier can increase prices meaning you also have to increase your prices. This seems simple but it tends to be difficult to maintain one’s clientele in such a situation. This problem of suppliers come with the risk of running a business, one must always be on the look...

Financial reporting is a fundamental aspect of any business, large or small. It involves the creation and presentation of financial data that reflects the company's financial health, performance, and economic standing.
