Technology-Savvy Employees: A Study by the University
of Phoenix (Future Work Skills) suggests that new media
literacy and virtual collaboration are two of the essential
skills that will be needed in the future workforce.
Millennials, the first generation raised with complete
immersion in new technology, have uniquely strong skills
in these new communication channels. This technology
permeates their social networking and their fluency with
online video technology, blogs, podcasts, and collaborative
software makes it easy for them to integrate these
productivity-enhancers into their work.
