What if—we had all the skilled people we need to realize amazing opportunities in technology, inclusion and sustainability?
What if—our region was a top destination for new graduates from around the country?
What if—every young adult of color was recruited into a high-demand career in our region?
That’s not our reality today—but what if it was our future? It can be IF we come together and build a new regional strategy to renew our strength in talent and workforce. When we create our strategy and execute it together, we will recapture an edge that will make our region more competitive, more prosperous—and healthier.
