The Problem - When students
enter the technology market, they frequently discover that the silos of
technology competencies they mastered in college need to be integrated in the
workplace. Employers have to invest months of ramp-up training for these new
college grads to help them integrate the technologies they have learned to
enable them to solve real-world problems.
