Abstract
This case study addresses the forthcoming concerns facing leaders regarding the impact on employment as automation and technology envelope our world. It is projected that thirty-five to forty-seven percent of the United States labor force, in multiple occupational fields, will be eliminated due to automation within the next ten to fifteen years (Frey & Osborne, 2013; Frey, Osborne, & Holmes, 2016). A technological adaptation developed in tandem with increasing a skilled labor force is needed. Without a skilled and educated workforce, the country's economic growth will be at extreme risk.
