Essentially, there are jobs available. But not enough skilled workers to fill these jobs.

As we’ve said many times before; a substantial chunk of America is trained for a world that no longer exists.

While the segment (below) focuses on manufacturing jobs. If you find yourself unemployed or underemployed, it’s important to note that there are many industries and verticals hurting for skilled workers.

When it comes down to securing meaningful work, it’s vital to look into the future. Which means, any job that can be replaced my machines, robots, or computers will eventually be replaced… but you know what won’t be replaced? Those jobs that create, design, control, or program those machines and software.

Creativity and the ability to critically think will never be replaced my technology.

Please enjoy the video. And we’d love to hear what you think about this topic.

Creating a modern day academy isn’t easy. But we are dedicated to creating a learning environment designed to help you navigate today’s challenges.

We’ve listened to your feedback and our team is in the process of a complete overhaul.

Over the next few months, we are going back to the drawing-board and redesigning the academy from the ground up.

From the way we’ll be designing future courses to how those courses directly effect your life, everything will constantly improve. For instance:

• You’re busy: We are crafting future courses to allow for even easier consumption throughout your day.

  So look for our academy to become ever more mobile friendly as well as easier on your task list.

• You need specific answers: We are in the process of launching a resource library that will include free lessons, videos, and snippets created to answer your real-world questions.

  Stay tuned for more info on the library soon… We’ll have a question form for you to submit your challenges.

• You’re overwhelmed by information: Our courses will not include any fluff. This includes ridiculous examples of hypothetical scenarios that don’t apply to you. But you know what does apply to your life? Your life. Shocking, I know ;)

  Therefore, our lessons are only designed to reflect your life through the eyes of you. You’ll do this through action-based lessons you can complete during your day.

• You’re unsure of how to handle change: It’s crazy how fast the world is changing. Never before in history has there been so many changes. And these changes result in countless challenges for you. From your health to your relationships.

  There is a complete re-imagination of nearly everything in your life. Our courses will constantly evolve to tackle these problems.

To summarize, your feedback has helped immensely. And your learning academy & curriculum will improve accordingly.

But it doesn’t stop there, we are constantly searching for better ways to help you learn the skills necessary to succeed in this ever-changing world…

So please, for the benefit of you and our other students, continue to give us feedback to our WeCare @ NewMethods team.

Here’s to your continued success. Thank you!

Simple and elegant web design work that allows you to feel the quality of craftsmanship. Similar to Optimo Hats from a few weeks ago, but with their own unique twist.

Remarkable.

With over 3,300 on every college University subject under the sun, it’s safe to say he did just that at Khan Academy.

Here’s the commencement speech Sal Khan gave at MIT earlier this year.

Remarkable.

Jonah Sachs shows you how.

Remarkable.

Not just productivity in the office, but throughout the entire day– every day. You might have clients to email back, relatives to call, household chores, a date planned to meet up with a friend. The list goes on.

In a lot of ways, it’s kind of a life skill. The world is changing quickly. Times are changing… Yet there’s still only 24 hours in the day.

Enter task lists and calenders.

Once things start to get crazy, overwhelm sets in. So naturally, we revert to a task list to regain some control. However, most of the time it only ends up being a temporary quick fix until we feel a sense stability.

Are you feeling us?

What systems can be implemented to take your productivity to a whole new level?

No, I’m not talking planners and calenders (although they do play their part).

Systems you can use that will eliminate the feeling of working for hours and not having gotten anything done, that train you to become a leveraged task sharp shooter.

A system that addresses procrastination, pulls it apart, and then vaporizes it.

We’ve got you covered.

We’re excited to introduce you to our new course, “Achieving a Productive Life“.

Thomas is the man behind the audio lessons in our first two courses. He also played a huge role in developing the course “Becoming a Masterful Networker”.

So we were thinking…

It’s important to us that you have a presenter that fits your learning style.

I mean, isn’t it the worst when you’re sitting in class listening to a lecture from a mono tone droid whose spits this information out year after year after year?

That’s just not us

Since we’re small scale right now we’ll be starting with one (Thomas), but we would like to have different presenters in the future for you to choose from.

Thanks to digital technology, if Thomas’s soothing voice doesn’t do it for you, you’ll have the option to switch it up.

What are your thoughts?

he turned it into a series of adventures to test the limits of intelligence.
