On Tuesday, January 29, Blair Milo, Indiana’s Secretary for Career Connections and Talent, will visit Fulton County stakeholders at Fulton County Public Library to examine economic and workforce challenges and develop strategies to meet those challenges for Hoosier students, workers and employers.
Goals of the meeting are to:
• Convene public, private, and educational sectors to discuss the future of high-demand industries in north central Indiana. • Promote collaboration and encourage a community-wide intentional focus on post-secondary attainment aligned with current and future workforce demands in north central Indiana.
“The nature of work across all industries is changing faster than ever before due to new technology, global connectedness, an aging workforce and many other worldwide trends. Collaboration between family, industry, education, and community has never been more critical to ensure equal opportunity for a successful career keeps pace with the rate of change,” says Secretary Milo.
Developing a 21st Century skilled-and-ready workforce is the third of five pillars in Gov. Eric Holcomb’s agenda to take Indiana to the Next Level, as more than one million job openings are expected over the next 10 years.
To build a 21st Century workforce, Hoosier education and workforce systems must be aligned to:
• Provide every Hoosier student with an effective baseline education infused with STEM, intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and other attributes that prepare them for lifelong learning. • Ensure students graduate high school ready for college, pursue meaningful training and employment in a field of their choice and/or with the skills to directly enter a quality job. • Connect working-age adults to education and career training that aligns with industry needs and leads directly to employment.
