Author of The U.S. Technology Skills Gap, Gary Beach talked with WRALTechWire editor Rick Smith in an article published on Nov. 21.

The article preceded a discussion by local business leaders on the following questions:
- What are the skills needed in the 21st century work environment?
- How should public education, particularly in grades K-12, be restructured to teach these skills?
- What responsibility do business leaders and IT executives have to improve public education?
- How do we measure progress?
