美国的就业市场.S. 是否遇到了复杂的问题. 随着科技发展的加速, 旧世界的工作正在以越来越快的速度被自动化. 同时, the new jobs being created to work alongside digital technologies are going unfilled because of an overall lack in fluency of digital skills.

Last year alone this compounding problem resulted in more than 2.400万个STEM职位空缺 — that's a figure larger than the population of Houston, the fourth-largest city in the nation. 就在两年前， U.S. STEM学科的毕业生只有56.8万人. It doesn't take a STEM grad to see that there's a basic math problem here.

And with so many people assuming that STEM jobs must be filled by STEM talent, it's easy to see why roughly 40% of the American public believes we're in a crisis.

这就是文科毕业生可以填补关键需求的地方.

While digital skills like coding and data science are important, it's the soft skills — a strong work ethic; self-motivation; social, emotional and leadership skills; and holistic skills (like problem-finding) that are truly the key components for success in the modern economy.

通过投资文科毕业生, we gain people with human-centered skills who can approach problems in entirely new ways, 为数字时代的创新思维做出贡献.

Liberal arts graduates bring a depth and breadth of knowledge from across the humanities and social sciences that complement the hard skills of engineers and data scientists. And in a world that increasingly interacts with technology in every facet of daily life, it's increasingly important that technology reflects the world around us.

When a customer visits a website or withdraws money from an ATM, 我们需要的技术不仅适用于用户，而且适用于用户. How do the people of the world interface with the technology they use every day? 它对用户友好吗?? 视觉上赏心悦目? 这些问题，以及其他许多问题，都是不好的. They're critically important to the success of technological endeavors, and they are answered in the affirmative only when a diverse group of individuals designs it in the first place.

文科毕业生也接受了如何学习的培训.

That's why at Infosys we're partnering with 文科 colleges to train the workforce of the future. We're working with Trinity College to bridge 文科 graduates into careers in technology. 通过投资文科毕业生, we gain people with human-centered skills who can approach problems in entirely new ways, 为数字时代的创新思维做出贡献. 通过这个项目, students complement their core 文科 education with technological skills and applied learning that will position them to thrive in the digital workplace.

我的朋友Joanne Berger-Sweeney, 三一学院院长, 将文科模式称为t模式, 或者“广度与深度”." 学生 gain expertise in individual subjects through a breadth of well-honed social skills that allow them to collaborate across disciplines. 因为学生获得了如此广泛的教育, they learn to connect disparate ideas threaded through many subjects. And because students are exposed to such a wide variety of subjects, they are more likely to be aware of their strengths and learning styles, allowing them to adapt more quickly and flexibly to evolving challenges.

This aligns well with the antidisciplinary world we're moving toward. 很快，t型车将让位给z型车. 创造力和批判性思维, 还要熟练掌握数字技术, 今天的经济需要这些关键素质吗. 在这种经济环境下, intelligent automation will provide real-time data and problem-solving capabilities, giving workers the bandwidth to use their creativity to problem-find and interpret the data, 发现需要进一步发展的领域.
