ABSTRACT
The jobs of tomorrow do not exist today, and globalization, as Hackling (2015) notes, “has resulted in workforces that are increasingly mobile (physically and virtually) both within and between countries” (p. 61). Whereas educators reflect on how they might prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs, employers are grappling with a different dilemma: their employees are already educated, but their jobs require new competencies. Uniting the need for ongoing, job-focused training with best practices in adult educational pedagogy was the foundation for an innovative professional development program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
