“Choose a job you love,

and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

Kong Fuzi, Confucius

 

Today we dwell on titles that inform management of the education industry in the United States specifically; but also more generally in global markets where the education industry is classified as a Producer and a User of human resources.  It is an enormous domain; likely the largest.

Human Resources 100 covers skilled trade training in all building construction disciplines.

Human Resources 200 covers the range of skills needed to manage the real assets of educational settings — school district properties, college and university campuses

Human Resources 300 covers higher level management of these settings.  (Representative Organization Charts)

“Art of Manliness”

We find relatively few public consultations presented by accredited standards developers in the human resource domain; surprising because human resources are the largest cost center in nearly every industry.  Alas, manufacturers, insurance and conformance companies remain the strongest voices; the “wicked problem” we describe in our ABOUT.

Even before the circumstances of the pandemic inspired a revisit of large government politics and cultural mashing in education communities in the United States we could hear the first footfalls of disruption when ANSI catalyzed the creation of a related entity in 2014, described in the link below:

WORKCRED: Connecting credential, competencies, careers, customers

The proper business of the education industry overall — and the ~$500 billion facility segment we track — is preparing the workforce everywhere to contribute to national economic priorities.   There is a strong cultural component in the human resource domain — i.e. branding — the topic of another post.   For now, we simply suggest that much of the economic activity of education communities is devoted to building a cohort (or guild) that creates an emotional bond that hastens learning and a continual desire to self-educate to remain part of the cohort.

At the moment, the WORKCRED program at this point in its development, appears to provides guidance to conformance and compliance organizations among its members.   The user-interest in the education facility industry, at least dependent on a skilled workforce as any economic sector, and welcomed to participate.  We identify the initiative here and will keep a weather-eye out for commenting opportunities on draft consensus products emerging from it.  The link below should provide a more detailed overview of the program until a “commentable consensus product” suitable for incorporation by reference into legislation is released.

Of course, there will be cultural competition among the guardians of the cohort.

Organizations with their own credentialing enterprises for skilled trades, ICT, software engineering, etc. — are encouraged to communicate directly with the WORKCRED staff (CLICK HERE).

“Adagio for Strings” Samuel Barber

Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings (1936) is a slow, lyrical orchestral piece adapted from the second movement of his String Quartet, Op. 11. Premiering in 1938 under Arturo Toscanini with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, it features a simple, ascending melodic line that builds through intensifying harmonies and dynamics, peaking in anguished dissonance before resolving into quiet resignation.

In Western classical music, the “Adagio” represents the pinnacle of 20th-century American romanticism amid modernism’s rise. Barber rejected avant-garde experimentation (e.g., serialism by Schoenberg), drawing instead from Bach, Brahms, and Sibelius for tonal accessibility and emotional directness.
