A strong
workforce equals a growing community.
That's been true for many years.
That's nothing new!
What's new is what does your community have that is attracting that strong workforce?

What's new is what does your community have that is attracting that strong workforce?
I think we can
all agree on what attracts businesses to your community:
- Infrastructure;
- An educated workforce; and
- A sense of community.
There are all kinds of jobs that need to be filled, not just lawyers and doctors but welders, plumbers, electricians and carpenters.
Does your
community have a strong relationship between the high school, vocational
school, junior college and the business community?
It’s essential
that the three are tied together for success.
We need to get
to a place where we do not stigmatize high school graduates, vocational school,
or junior college graduates.
At the end of
the day, it's the electricians, plumbers, and construction workers who work
with the architects, engineers, and the financial industry to build the
infrastructure of the 21st Century within our growing communities.
We need all
levels of education to fill these key jobs to move our communities
forward.
And let's not forget that many electritions and plumbers are making more money than the college graduate, without any college debt!
