Environmental Scanning Defined

At Brookdale Community College, environmental scanning is a planned purposeful process to gather and share information within the college community. The external environment, including social, technological, environmental, economic and political factors, is examined to identify trends or events which could have future implications for the college. By understanding these forces of change, effective responses may be developed in order to plan for the future, identify challenges, be aware of opportunities and gain competitive advantage.

The Center for Immigration Studies on Hispanic Population Growth in the US

As a follow-up to earlier IPEC posting about the growing Hispanic population numbers in New Jersey, the Center for Immigration for Studies offers the following:
Salvadoran-American journalist Carlos Rajo, an analyst for Telemundo, recently provided a concise explanation of the damage the U.S. would suffer if the ever-larger cohort of Latino young people do not receive an education that prepares them for the future.  Rajo said that a failed education doesn't just hurt the individual: "The state is also hurt because it receives less taxes during the lifetime of a person who does not complete his education," he said.
