The ‘old economy’ is the way companies have traditionally done business in the past. Companies in the ‘new economy’ make use of the Internet to sell goods and services. There will be significant changes in workplaces over the next decade as a result of the so-called ‘new economy’ and as the lines between the ‘old economy’ and the ‘new economy’ become blurred. These changes will include workplace flexibility, globalisation, technology and a shift in the balance between work and family life. As these changes occur, educational institutions need to be able to anticipate and respond to the needs of the employer and the employee, providing a greater emphasis on lifelong learning, increased performance based training, with ‘soft’ skills becoming a priority, and a greater need for generic computer skills at all levels.
