Improving 21st Century Skills in the U.S. Air Force

Abstract

This Perspective shares research from the private and education sectors on a topic of interest to the Air Force--21st century skills--and suggests ways in which further exploration could inform and improve Air Force efforts to increase agility of its airmen. It gives a brief definition of 21st century skills, and compares common conceptions on the topic to Air Force institutional competencies, which currently guide workforce development in the Air Force. The research approaches suggested in this Perspective could ultimately inform the continuum of learning and development in the Air Force.
