#Micro-colleges will educate the workforce of the future: Futurist Thomas Frey The world has a shortage of 18 million teachers.
With the ever-increasing pace of innovation, traditional colleges and universities are failing to train and retrain workers quickly enough.##
Disappearing jobs and micro-colleges The main factor driving change in the labor force is new innovations rendering old jobs obsolete,
That isn t possible through conventional universities, but he believes micro-colleges such as#Davinci Coders,

#Demand for computer science programs is booming at colleges across the U s. People in the tech industry have worked to persuade more young people in the U s. to become interested in studying computer science for years.
Demand for computer science classes and programs is booming at universities across the U s, . according to data presented this past week at the NCWIT summit for Women in IT by Ed Lazowska, the Bill & Melinda Gates Chair in Computer science and Engineering at the University of Washington,
and Stanford Computer science professor Eric Roberts. Demand is also booming for the less expensive Micro Colleges that teach programming skills like Davinci Coders near Boulder, Colorado,
which only costs $6, 000. At Lazowska own school, the number of incoming freshman who plan to major in computer science is soaring the graph below,
According to Lasowska and Roberts, our higher education institutions today aren prepared adequately to handle the surge in computer science education demand.

#Fewer high school graduates enroll in college after graduation The proportion of high school students in the U s. who go on to college rose regularly for decades
Last October, just 65.9 percent of people who had graduated from high school the previous spring had enrolled in college,
when 70.1 percent of new graduates had gone on to college. alling college enrollment indicates that upward mobility may become more difficult for working-class and disadvantaged high school graduates,
and students who would have worked their way through college a few years ago, and added that many parents in the past paid for college by refinancing mortgages, an alternative no longer available to many families.
At the same time, there were some encouraging signs in the report, which is released annually. The bureau reported that 51 percent of the high school graduates who did not go on to college had jobs by October
and that 74 percent were in the labor force, meaning they either were employed or were looking for work.
On the other hand, only 43 percent of new high school dropouts were part of the labor force in October, a figure that was the lowest for the last 20 years, the period for
But there was an increase in the proportion of new high school dropouts who had jobs to 31 percent from 24 percent in 2012,
The bureau said the estimated 65.9 percent figure for high school graduates who went on to college could be off by as much as 2. 4 percentage points in either direction.
Still, there seems to be little doubt that the long-term trend of more and more high school graduates going to college has halted, if not reversed.
