A Study Of The Leadership Code And Employee Engagement, Richard James Stewart

Manufacturing Mississippi's Workforce: An Assessment Of Employability Skills As Perceived By Faculty And Senior Students Of Four Year Manufacturing Related Degree Programs, Mamie Yvette Griffin

A worldwide concern exists that undergraduate programs are not producing graduates with the kind of lifelong learning and professional skills needed for workplace success. Numerous research studies indicate new employees lack needed employability skills such as teamwork, decision-making, and communication.

Hence, this research proposes to determine the degree to which Mississippi‟s four-year manufacturing-related degree programs address employability.
To answer this question, the present study utilizes descriptive non-experimental research to assess the perception …
