Today's work force requires workers to think strategically, analyze information, collaborate using 21st-century tools and apply knowledge to new situations.This morning, in Detroit, Michigan Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm and Microsoft Corp. announced that they have established a relationship to work together to help improve instructional relevance and so enhance the 21st-century skills of Michigan students.
As part of Microsoft's U.S. Partners in Learning, Michigan and Microsoft will expand and support existing educational resources over the next five years while researching and implementing new assets that can be replicated in the state of Michigan and beyond. These efforts are intended to improve student achievement while increasing young people's awareness of career and work force opportunities.
