Today's NewWork News Web Tip: SmartForce (Tuesday, 8/28/01)
Smart Force says that it is the, or perhaps THE e-learning company and claims to have more than 2,500 corporate customers. Peter Drucker doesn't expect the Internet to replace most K-12 schools or the college as an institution, although, far fewer colleges may be needed in a few years. However, he believes that online continuing education for the new economy's professional and technical workforce will become one of the world's largest industries. Not so long ago, in most American towns, the local doctor, dentist, and lawyer towered over nearly everybody else in terms of occupational technical knowledge and skill. Now that a large proportion of the people working on the front lines in most fields are professionals of one sort or another, that skill gap has narrowed considerably. Moreover, in most fields, skills become obsolete at near-blinding speed. Thus, the market for work-related continuing education and training for persons who are already educated is likely to become increasingly huge.
