q1 · i? · theoretical · r1
The publication's introductory text asserts, without cited data, that 'Constant changes in job requirements mean that students must be prepared to change too,' and defines the adequately prepared worker as ready for lifelong change. No evidence or argument is offered.
"Constant changes in job requirements mean that students must be prepared to change too. These shifts add a new dimension to the definition of an adequately prepared worker: a person who is ready for change throughout his or her entire work life."
