What does your

Music class
teach YOU?
 “Our educational systems are not producing qualified applicants
for available jobs in our workforce. Although current levels of
employment average 9% nationwide, several million jobs go un-
filled, across all industries, because individuals applying for these
jobs imply lack the skills required for the available positions.
Among those most egregiously absent qualifications employers
mention are “SOFT SKILLS,” which define how employees perform
in their jobs.”
-Soft skills-an essential ingredient
for career and college readiness.
