Description¶
A conceptual framework synthesized by Pretti et al. to organize 12 future-ready talents into four clusters for communication among work-integrated-learning students, employers, and educators.
Components¶
- The Future Ready Talent Framework (FRTF): a 12-talent, 4-cluster conceptual model for WIL stakeholders: The FRTF is a conceptual model organizing 12 talents into four clusters — Expand and Transfer Expertise, Develop Self, Build Relationships, and Design and Deliver Solutions. It was synthesized from 46 prior talent frameworks and future-of-work literature to identify talents mutually relevant to employers, students, and educators in WIL. The article states it "is not intended to be prescriptive" but "acts as a tool WIL stakeholders can use as they communicate with each other." Behavioral examples attached to each talent illustrate what the talents look like in practice. (Pretti et al. (2021))
Claims¶
- Educators sorted 11 talents into the proposed FRTF clusters significantly above chance, from 94.8% (self-assessment) to 44.8% (critical thinking) [+M]
- 54 of 59 FRTF behavioral examples were sorted better than chance and 48 by a majority of educator participants [+M]
- Several FRTF behavioral examples were not sorted better than chance, including actively listening to others (18.2%) and exploring implications of proposed solutions (9.4%) [-W]
- Stakeholder consultation with 60 WIL students, employers, and educators generated 1,806 behavioral examples distilled into 59 [+M]
- Expert review and stakeholder consultation established strong consensus on the need for and acceptability of the Framework [+W]
