ES21st Century Learning
Education in the skills of the 21st century is one that responds to the economic, technological, and social changes that are occurring at an increasing rate. It's an education that prepares students and the workforce to succeed in a world where more than half of the jobs they'll have throughout their careers don't even exist yet.
The 21st Century Workforce initiative focuses on providing and facilitating Puerto Ricans citizens the tools needed to obtain the skills to succeed in this new world and help them increase the confidence to practice those new skills.
