The US has plenty of its own very real and looming competitiveness issues. But, as the Word Economic Forum noted at the end of March, those who will soon supposedly be running the world, India and China, still lag well behind in competitiveness metrics.
To underline the point, AP's Tim Sullivan filed an interesting piece on the dearth of skilled employee's in India over the weekend:
Nearly two decades into India's phenomenal growth as an international center for high technology, the industry has a problem: It's running out of workers.
There may be a lot of potential — Indian schools churn out 400,000 new engineers, the core of the high-tech industry, every year — but as few as 100,000 are actually ready to join the job world, experts say.
Instead, graduates are leaving universities that are mired in theory classes, and sometimes so poorly funded they don't have computer labs. Even students from the best colleges can be dulled by cram schools and left without the most basic communication skills, according to industry leaders.
Not sitting on its hands to wait for the educational system to turn around, Indian tech leader Infosys has built its own massive training center:
It has 120 faculty members, more than 80 buildings, 2,350 hostel rooms and a 500,000-square-foot education complex. There's a movie complex built inside a geodesic dome. An army of workers sweeps the already-spotless streets and trims the already-perfect lawns.
Month by month, it's getting bigger. Today, some 4,500 students at a time attend the 16-week course for new employees. By September, there will be space for 13,000.
Infosys spent $350 million on the campus, and will spend $140 million this year on training, said Pai, the human resources chief.
