A Study on "Developing Human Capital"

商业-高等教育论坛建议激发一场广泛的全国性讨论，并就如何通过提高美国公民的创造力和生产率来重振美国的专有技术制定一个全面的愿景。这将由代表该国主要学术界和企业界首席执行官的论坛成员组成的特别工作组在以下阶段完成：1)在商界和高等教育领袖之间就教育和重组美国劳动力达成共识，这将成为1988年劳动节发布的一份重要论坛报告的框架。2)在1989年初为联邦、州和地方领导人制定了建议。这个项目不仅将提供关于小学、中学和本科教育的有价值的信息，而且还将提供关于劳动力的培训和再培训的宝贵信息--这是一个日益技术化的社会严重关注的话题。这个项目的联合主席非常能干，可以征求政府、产业界和学术界的合作。论坛在相关领域有作出宝贵贡献的记录。

The Business-Higher Education Forum proposes to stimulate a broad national discussion and develop a comprehensive vision about how to revitalize American know-how by improving the inventiveness and productivity of American citizens. This will be accomplished in the following stages by a task force of Forum members who represent the nation's major academic and corporate chief executives: 1) developing a consensus among leaders of business and higher education regarding educating and retooling the American work force which will be the framework for a major Forum report to be released on Labor Day 1988. 2) developing recommendations in early 1989 for Federal, state and local leaders. This project will provide valuable information on not only elementary, secondary, and undergraduate education, but also on the training and retraining of the workforce--topics of grave concern to an increasingly technological society. The cochairmen of this project are extremely able and can solicit cooperation from government, industry, and academia. The Forum has a track record of valuable contributions in related areas.
